I have no idea.  All I know is that elisp is very much pessimized; for
the speed reasons, I would prefer to use simplest constructs (the
initial version could have been hundreds times slower than the current
one; I was forced to change the whole framework how stuff operates on
the C level of Emacs).

There may be some benchmarks around; I just do not know about them.
(But this late in development cycle, I doubt I would change such
things now.)

Yours,
Ilya
