I'm CCing Eli.

In the past, ISTR, Eli suggested to benchmark such things by visiting a
very large file in its beginning, then scrolling down by holding
the down arrow or PgDn for some fixed time period, like 30 seconds.
The  Emacs that scrolls the farthest is the most performant.  Not
entirely fail-proof (other processes may interfere, etc), but not
bad either.

So here you could create very large fictitious Elisp file with 0, 1, 3 and
10 shorthands each and then run your version vs my version and record
the final line numbers.  Then show the files and the numbers.
