As it is probably not a physical issue, rereading the original post prompted some things.

What format books are you reading? ePub or kepub? Purchased or sideloaded? Do you keep the annotations or remove them? (I do a lot of annotations but mainly for fixing problems in the books. Once I do that, I remove the annotations.)

Does the speed change in the book? Is it faster at the near the start or the end? Or even within chapters, especially longer chapters.

There are some performance issues with having a lot of annotations in the database. I have done some cleanup on the database to improve things. Deleting an annotation doesn't necessarily remove it from the database. They are marked as deleted and cleaned up when the device is synced or the book opened again. The latter can be a problem for sideloaded books if you remove them after finishing the book and do not reopen the book. (Note: The exact behaviour is firmware version dependant. I haven't specifically checked the details recently, but, I don't think it has changed.)
