This does not make sense.
The profiler trace implies
org-activate-folds -> org-fold-core-next-visibility-change ->
org-fold-core-next-folding-state-change ->
org-fold-core--property-symbol-get-create (takes most time)

But your benchmark showed that
`org-fold-core--property-symbol-get-create' cannot take that much
time...

Unless it is called 100k+ times.

May you do the following:

1. (require 'elp)
2. (elp-instrument-function #'org-fold-core--property-symbol-get-create)
3. Do actions in Org file
4. (elp-results)
5. See *ELP Profiling Results*
6. (elp-restore-all)

For me, the result is

Function Name                              Call Count  Elapsed Time  Average 
Time
org-fold-core--property-symbol-get-create  27361       0.5646422580  
2.063...e-05

(the time numbers are not real because instrumenting itself makes
function a lot slower, but we can compare the call count)
