Hmm... still at 4.18 here, so no wonder I wasn't seeing this problem.

Hmm... looks like the difference might be statistically insignificant
after all (or maybe lexical-binding makes cc-engine.el marginally
faster, so it hides the slight slowdown in cc-mode.el).  I think you
might decide to drop this investigation, at least until you find more
clear evidence of a slowdown.
