You're right, the bottleneck in `LaTeX-verbatim-p' is `LaTeX-current-environment' which performs multiple searches, but is also capable to determine outer environments than the innermost one. We could use a simpler version just for `LaTeX-verbatim-p' (we do need the innermost environment there), though I'm not sure doing the whole search in one shot would improve performance, but I didn't test.
