First step is to probably profile org and see where time is spent: M-x elp-instrument package RET org RET ... then try a capture ... M-x elp-results Second step is to bring up a terminal and run htop in it, then try a capture and see if some process (maybe emacs, maybe something else) jumps up in CPU usage. Also try with a minimal org file and no other customizations: it may be that something in your configuration causes it (unless others can see the same slowness on similar systems). This kind of problem may take a long time to debug, so it's important not to get discouraged. -- Nick
