Hi Philipp; I'm using DM and DS in some large applications (~400 bundles, ~1000 services), and I confirm that both DM and DS are fast.
If you want to give a try to DM java API, you can take a look at [1]. it's a simple but powerful API, which allows to not only declare simple services, but also service aspects (interceptors), service adapters, configuration dependencies, etc ... DS will also allow you to declare your services easily. As suggested by Ferry, you can take a look at the bndtools faq from [2], but the FAQ from [3] is also useful and concise.
