Can't say something about face merging, but "frequent" changes of faces
certainly have an effect on iterator performance.  It stops, looks up
properties again to determine the next stop pos, does what has to be
done for current properties...

Yes, I don't think there is something comparable on macOS.  Or I simply
can't find it.
