copying complex objects always costs time. You could try to reduce the mesh-resolution of the wireframe. Copying and pasting also takes longer if there are more objects in the scene even if you just copy a very small object that would normally only take seconds can take a while if the rest of the scene is complex. You could make different scene-files and merge these.
