Try this:
# -*- cache-long-scans: nil; -*-
# This makes forward-line much faster and thus org-goto-line
# and thus org-table-sum (C-c +)

My org file is 9990 lines without any tblfmt but I do summations on
columns on small tables once a week (invoicing for the week).

The speed of C-c + was driving me nuts.
