So you have all images of all org docs in one folder? Or one folder per org file? The first would be better for refiling across files, the latter better for portability of the org files.
How many lines does your bigger org than have? My main one has 1.5k. My archive (just a year old maybe) has 15k and many org functions become quite slow, even freezing emacs sometimes.

I'm not sure what you by 'all images of all org docs', but I keep most my org-related images in one file (my archive.org, where I store most of them in an ongoing datetree under a relevant header). Most of the photos I keep in org-mode revolve around logging though - things like bread, beer, garden plants, etc - but I also have some images kept in my notes sections. And yeah, all of my org files are in ~/org. I used to use many files and directories, but it made it annoying for syncing across devices, and having shorter paths is nice anyway.

My largest one is around 1.5k, after some heavy pruning last week. I respect your 15k archive! I only recently started taking my archiving seriously, and I've really enjoyed it so far. Keeping ALL of my logs (photography, work outs, diet, bread making, etc) under one datetree has brought a lot of Zen to my workflow. Unfortunate though that you experience performance issues at that size. Perhaps looking into `M-x profiler-report` could give you some leads? This will at least tell you what functions are using the most CPU or Mem, and you can potentially adjust accordingly from there. It is likely some package(s) using too many resources.
