It's a delicate one because subjective and objective problems are often closely entangled in this area (speed of your machine, perceived acceptable speed for generating the agenda, complexity of the query, size of your agenda files, etc.) The only way we can make progress here is by rolling our sleeves and performing tiny optimizations, one after another. As a first step, you can try to make a diagnosis the problem by instrumenting the agenda functions: M-x elp-instrument-package RET org-agenda RET Then doing your agenda query then reporting results M-x elp-results RET We'll get a rough idea of the time spent and be able to compare it with the one on other machines.
