Some results from the benchmark (compilation of en_US.UTF-8/Compose):
$ grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz
$ uname -a
Linux ran 3.16.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Aug 14 07:40:19 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ ./test/compose bench
compiled 1000 compose tables in 7.776488331s
So according to the above benchmark and valgrind --tool=massif, an
xkb_compose_table adds an overhead of about ~8ms time and ~130KB
resident memory.
For contrast, a plain US keymap adds an overhead of ~3ms time and 90KB
resident memory.
