I had some issues where time-stamps of deadlines and logbook were
written in the wrong position, messing up drawers.

A syntax checker is not a 100% sure thing, yes. However, it would
help to get information on unknown drawers, missing :END: lines,
mismatching blocks, and so forth. I am not completely sure how to
achieve this. 

However, my (long) Org-mode files with the performance issues is not
a situation I am satisfied. Last week I presented Org-mode at a
Linuxdays-event here in Graz and I had to apologize for all the
weird behavior. This was somewhat embarrassing :-(

d5484ae 2014-04-12 from the repos.

Probably it has to do with my Emacs binary as well: GNU Emacs
24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2)
 of 2014-01-01 on gkar, modified by Debian

The Emacs on the Windows machine in the office does not show many
issues. However, my configuration is only 95% the same for both
machines.

Pfuh, I totally understand this :-)

Wow, I am afraid this will be hard work to generate but I will
schedule it. Please be patient because I have lots of stuff to do
these days.

Sure. After a couple of minutes, I C-g and this is the output:
