For instance, if you view the same epub file with calibre's epub viewer, there is no delay in opening the TOCs. Hopefully, this behavior will eventually be fixed in ADE.
As for chapter changing being slow, as far as I know that time depends only on the complexity of the markup/size in each chapter, which is not under calibre's control.

In DE if you point to XHTML locations in your TOC, DE will have to parse these individual flows, that's why it takes such a long time to process. In their "best practice guide" they recommend to avoid using such things in the root elements of your TOC.
