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.
