There's that xic_set_preeditarea and xcb_wait_for_event again, called
as part of Emacs redisplaying and setting the cursor.  I don't
understand why this would become progressively slower and slower
during a session, but then I know nothing about XIC.

What happens if, starting with this backtrace, you type "finish" until
it stops showing the next frame up the call-stack -- which frame does
it fail to leave from?
