you're potentially running into an issue with the sqlite3 backend. if your distro allows it, try copying ~/.config/darktable/library.db to /dev/shm and start
darktable --library /dev/shm/library.db and copy it back after that. traditionally, in-ram access made sql run a lot faster, if that doesn't solve your issue we might need another index on the tags table (do you also have a lot of tags?). j.
