Here are simpler choices for the box wave.

box[x_] = Piecewise@{{1, FractionalPart@x < .5}}
Plot[box@t, {t, 0, 2}]

or

box = If[FractionalPart@# < .5, 1, 0] &;

But, strangely enough, they don't speed things up in NDSolve.

Clear[y1, y2]
eqns = {y1'[t] == y2[t],
    y2'[t] == 1000 (1 - y1[t]^2) (y2[t] - y1[t] UnitStep@Sin[2 Pi t]),
    y1[0] == 0, y2[0] == 1};
errors = Take[eqns, 2] /. Equal -> Subtract;
First@Timing[{y1, y2} = {y1, y2} /. First@
      NDSolve[eqns, {y1, y2}, {t, 0, 2}]]
Plot[{y1@t, y2@t}, {t, 0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 2},
  PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue}]

Clear[y1, y2]
box = If[FractionalPart@# < .5, 1, 0] &;
eqns = {y1'[t] == y2[t],
    y2'[t] == 1000 (1 - y1[t]^2) (y2[t] - y1[t] box@t), y1[0] == 0,
    y2[0] == 1};
errors = Take[eqns, 2] /. Equal -> Subtract;
First@Timing[{y1, y2} = {y1, y2} /. First@
      NDSolve[eqns, {y1, y2}, {t, 0, 2}]]
Plot[{y1@t, y2@t}, {t, 0, 1}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 2},
