My only guess would be repeatedly calling the `org-table-put' function from inside of your inner while loop. Specifically including the ALIGN option to the function is repeatedly re-aligning your table. Maybe performance would be improved by calling `org-table-align' once after the end of your while loop, rather than in every loop execution.
Also, as a style point I would recommend using `map' rather than while to iterate through the elements of the word-list. For an additional performance gain, you may want to remove the call to `org-table-put' altogether, and instead simply insert the word directly and then manually adjust the location of `point' in the buffer.
