Your conclusion is premature.  While micro-benchmarks don't represent
a typical Emacs usage, neither are the tests in the test suite.  They
are run in batch mode, and the don't involve important Emacs
subsystems, such as the display engine.

So the actual slowdown in "normal" usage could be quite different from
what the test suite measures.
