Well, I guess I was feeling more ambitious than I thought.
I wrote a simple junit test (below) that tests the 2 techniques for
retrieving I18N text. My numbers for 100 iterations were:
Using OGNL expression: 476 ms
Explicitly calling getText: 0 ms
Yikes!!! There is quite a difference between the two. The OGNL version
takes 5 ms/request compared to almost nothing for the explicit call. It
looks like it would be very beneficial to reimplement the UIBean key
lookup code based on the Text component-style of text lookup. I think
the key attribute is a much cleaner way of specifying label text anyway
so it's good to give users an incentive to use it. :)

The tags now have a "key" attribute that can be used in place of the
getText OGNL expression.
I'd be curious to know if
<s:textfield key="lastName" />
runs faster than
<s:textfield label="%getText('lastName')" name="lastName" />
If so, I wonder if there other places where we could eliminate common
OGNL statements by adding functionality to the tags.
