I’m sure we can speed it up if we have a reason to. Step one is to find out
exactly where the time is spent. Then we figure out ways to streamline the code
path. The experts on this may not have the same priorities you do, so they may
not have plans to spend time improving it.

The answer is yes.
There’s nothing special about the event handler function. In fact at the time
it is compiled the engine doesn’t know it will be an event handler function.
Unless you’re talking about a handler from a content attribute such as onclick.
Those are also compiled, though.
