Could be a number of things causing slowness. Overly complex composite columns needing to be calculated, a database that hasn't been vacuumed in a while, the drive being stored on a slow (or failing) hard drive.
Ok, well the library has been vaccumed, there are no composite columns outside of identifiers, the hard drive is good. I have a 1 year old computer with Windows 10 and a 1tb SSD and 16G RAM.

Oh, well, it is transient, so I was just wondering.
