I don't use a separate bbdb frame, but this might help you out a bit.
If you use font-lock to format your bbdb buffer, you may want to get
the package fast-lock or lazy-lock. Fast-lock caches the font-lock
data so the first time you load a buffer, it's slow, but afterwards
it's much faster. Lazy-lock just fontifies what is visible in the
window, and can silently font-lock the rest of the buffer in the
background.
One of these packages might solve your slow formatting problem.
