Virtual transactions in C++Ledger involve a runtime calculation that gets
applied to every posting during the parsing stage.  This can really add up.

I had a solution before, in that I would persist the results of those
calculations into a binary file.  However, this increased code complexity
significantly, but did not benefit most users.

If you have tons of transactions, and a lot of virtual transactions, then I
agree with Craig that the way to recover full speed is to use a "book opening"
entry, and to simply close out the older data.  You can always do this in such
a way that you can still query the older data; but unless you actually need
to, there are benefits to not doing so.
