Hello,

The reason why auto-completion with auto-complete-mode is slow might be
because of
flyspell-mode. Do you use it by default on org-mode by any chance?

I tried disabling flyspell-mode and got good results.(Not as fast as
pabbrev-mode but fast enough)

I also posted an issue here
https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete/issues/435

the M-x profile-start, M-x profile-report was really helpful here.

Best regards,

Jeremie
