Nikolay is working on this and some more evil looking patches at
https://github.com/fafhrd91/experimental.performance

These fixes combined currently result in almost a 50% speedup in
rendering time and cut down the number of function calls
significantly.

Just one example he shared with me for rendering the edit screen of a
page in Plone (req/s, function calls):

Stock Plone 4.2:

~5.5, 170000, /Plone/front-page/edit (manager)

With Chameleon:

~7.8, 101000, /Plone/front-page/edit (manager)

With evil looking optimizations:

~12.3,  43000, /Plone/front-page/edit (manager)

So yes, while these changes look at bit evil, they do have a major impact.
