It is hard to say what the issue is without some working example that shows performance issues. Usually getting better performance means compromising some functionality, e.g. not validating citation keys (this requires some lookup which could take time for large documents/bibtex files), etc. There are several org-ref-activate-*-links that turn font-lock on and off for different links. org-ref does use some caches, and if these are invalidated frequently, e.g. by frequently adding new bibtex entries, they have to be rebuilt, which can also take some time. Some of this is controlled by bibtex-completion though.
