I have 1700 books and it takes less then 2 seconds to sort any column.

You can be assured that it wasn't a fluke. More likely it was a feature.
The common reason this happens is when downloading metadata the downloaded Title and Author will overwrite what is there by default. Go to
Preferences -
General and
uncheck the option to
Overwrite author and title by default when fetching metadata. Unchecking this will ensure your author or title field will not be changed when fetching comments, tags, or ratings.
