Interesting, yes this is possible. I switched to Emacs 25 before I started
emacs itself heavily and using window configurations heavily, so it is very
likely that I just end up with a large number of buffers and that’s when
the slowdown happens.
What is the alternative to binding case-fold-search? Could smartparens just
bind it once in a surrounding function? Or is there another way to ensure
that `looking-at` is case sensitive?

I suppose this is possible, I had just started emacs 24 and let it install
all from elpa/melpa (I’m using spacemacs, so it handled all this for me).
Typically it compiles everything, but maybe it hadn’t yet in the session I
was running. I have confirmed that if I eval-buffer smartparens.el, I get
the more detailed profile. That’s useful, thanks.

I couldn’t figure out how to count all_buffers, but I saw (length
(buffer-list)), is that sufficient?
