Unfortunately, this actually did not solve it.

I have found another behaviour that might be relevant for experts to
solve this:

* Large window size of lyx (e.g., full screen or maximized)
 -> LyX is slow

* Make the window minimal (only show a few lines and columns) -> LyX is
  fast

Thus, could it be that the library is overpowering my computer
(Intel 2.80 GHZ  / 1024 RAM)?
