An additional overhead between 20% and 25% definitely doesn't feel reasonable to me. Hopefully this isn't linear.

It's not reasonable to me either. That's the naive version. :-) There are various tricks for reducing the overhead to insignificance.
It must strongly depend on what you've got activated; when I edit multi-gigabyte files I start up with '-q' so my init file doesn't turn on FlySpell.
