IMO basically exist two sources for the problem.

a) an appropriate coding style.
b) slowness from nesting, which might be solved by an appropriate alternative 
command.

As for b, please tell if command from paredit.el is slow also.

As for a, seeing a style expand, which uses a lot of abstractions, resp. 
refactoring. This looks nice, enhances readability but makes
it slow very soon.

Best,
