What happened?
Emacs freezes for 2-3 seconds if I call org-table-align on my table (I’ll share it below) in an org-file. I did profiling:

From these results you can see that most of the CPU is utilized by evil-local-mode. I see that there is the open issue in the project of evil-mode Advice of `set-window-buffer` unconditionally enables `evil-local-mode` · Issue #1561 · emacs-evil/evil · GitHub, so I believe that it can be fixed somehow in Doom Emacs, but I think someone else is experiencing the slow performance to dealing with it somehow, and hopefully the person could share a workaround to mitigate the experience.
What did you expect to happen?
