I'm not convinced that this is the reason. I tried with a simple file
(a headline, some text, a source code block with 7K lines of python -
the decimal.py file from the standard python library - and some more
text).
I set org-src-fontify-natively to nil (through a local variable in
the file). Adding text after the code block was OK but adding text
before the code block was very slow. If fontification were the problem,
I'd expect both to be fast.
I did a profile with elp and it seems to me that the problem is footnote

I didn't check how org-between-regexps-p and org-footnote-at-*-p are
related, but those three seem to account for the lion's share of the
time.
BTW, org-src-font-lock-fontify-block calls font-lock-fontify-buffer
which is not supposed to be called from lisp programs: the doc string
suggests using font-lock-ensure or font-lock-flush. I tried the first
but it did not make any difference in the speed. But I guess it should
be changed.
