That's an interesting question. According to the developers of ObjectWeb ASM, ASM is 10 times faster than BCEL and around 10% faster than Javassist. I forgot the exact numbers, but BCEL seems very slow because of their old-fashioned internal architecture. ASM is a very small light-weight library for modifying bytecode; it does not provide source-level abstraction that Javassist does.
However, the argument above does not mention the compilation by Javassist since the other libraries do not provide a compiler. In fact, the benchmark by ASM people is a very much toy. I don't have any numbers with respect to the compilation speed by Javassist, but I think the overhead is not as big as you expect. But yes, I need some experiments for further discussion on this topic.
