A quick first impression: orgntf-process seems expensive. It seems
to take 100% of one core (I've got a quad-core processor) for three or
four seconds every fifty seconds. Unfortunately, the core is the same one
that's running emacs, so emacs stops responding for those three or four
seconds. I have disabled org-notify for now.
