Wow. Your originals look simple but are anything but. They have stroke converted to path and then broken into microscopic segments, each being a separate path. So one of the originals for example consists of 547 paths!

I'm just curious, how you achieved this effect, and what for?

Then, you're saying you're cloning them. But there are no clones in your image. Each object is just a copy. So you have 547 paths multiplied by the number of these copies in the circle.

No wonder your file is 5Mb and Inkscape is getting slow on it :)
