That's to be expected: page-breaking is *the* most time-consuming process in LilyPond. Using http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/minimal-page-breaking should be fine and harmless in this specific case. (On an unrelated note, I recently found that refreshing large PDF documents takes forever when point-and-click is enabled.)
