Both dired and grep-find give you a list of targets that you can select via
mouse-1 or mouse-2, which causes the target file to open in another window.
While this list is active you can mouse-over the targets and Emacs will change
the face from the default face to the highlighted face, this is the part that's
slowing down.

It started happening when I started using grep-find mode more intensely, to
search through hundreds or even thousands of files. I then started noticing
dired do the same thing but not to the same extent because I wasn't working
with super-long lists of results.
I'm a heavy org-mode user so I often need to find something in a notes file
that's several years old (grepping through old notes files is basically how I
do my life. :)

Yes.
