I've never had problems with linum's speed. Nor with reliability, truth be told; though I know there are a few bug reports about it, so perhaps I've just been lucky.

Also, I seem to remember from the last time we talked about this, that implementing the missing linum features in nlinum wasn't exactly trivial, if at all possible. J
