Likely : calculing lot of differences with a huge object is time consuming,
rendering it as a mesh is very faster.

are your vertical cylinder with sphere all the same?.
If yes, you could make one difference with a short cylinder and multicopy it
all along (with rotations  around z) to build a long cylinder
