If line-move-visual takes the lion's share of the time, then I think
the call to font-info in default-font-height is the prime suspect.  It
happened before: some fonts make that call very expensive, for some
reason.  We did introduce an optimization to alleviate that, but only
when the font in question is the default face's font, which is not
your case.

If my suspicion turns out to be correct, I think the only workaround
(if this problem is annoying enough) is to customize your font setup
to use some other font for these symbols.
