Until recently my org persist index was much longer, but I pruned it a bit back when I wasn't aware what exactly caused the slowdown.

Why?

Did you look at what pp.el does when pp-use-max-width is non-nil?  I
show a profile below, to make that clear.

The "regular" pp (when pp-use-max-width is nil) finishes almost
instantaneously in this case.
