Several changes have been made to calibre to help with this problem. Tanjamuse's library with the virtual_libraries() custom column now opens in 52 seconds (on my machine). Without the VL column it opens in 26 seconds instead of 52 seconds. These changes are available in source now and will be generally released next week.
It is worth noting that the changes are not specific to using the virtual_libraries() function. They improve the performance of all composite columns (columns built from other columns), especially if a composite column is shown in the tag browser.
