No. CPU is going wild, though. >This is the wrong process: this is the line for the "grep emacs" >command, not for emacs itself. Maybe try "grep Emacs"?

Seems so. For example, if I open the same org file without orgmode activated, it renders pretty fast, without any apparent issues. I also have some big ruby script files which don't have any rendering performance issues whatsoever. I might have to reinstall emacs and configure things from scratch to try to isolate the issue.
