I haven't yet seen or worked with an example with a large number of
custom methods.
Once added, custom methods behave exactly the same as built-in
methods, therefore I see no reason why that should be a problem.
Lookup is based on JavaScript property lookup, which is hardly a
bottleneck either.
Currently the most obvious bottlenecks in the validation plugin are
DOM manipulations, when adding lots of error messages on submit at
once. So far that didn't cause any actual issues though.
