If you have custom columns built from other columns, the first time you sort/search on one they all have to be evaluated for every book, which can easily take a minute or two.
Also -- though this isn't really connected with the behavior you're describing, you might want to limit what columns are searched when you do a general search, particularly if you don't need to search the comments field. Preferences.Searching
