Is there any chance we can bounce such things through some automated test?
Things are always tricky when it comes to performance, but perhaps an end-to-end via command line invocation could be worked up to exercise this feature.
Grouping, assigning a clipping path and a few other operations (e.g. pasting a document into another one) should be a method in the SP layer. This way it would be easier to run performance tests on it, and there would be only one implementation to check for correctness.
Well... it might help for correctness, but not really for performance test. Micro benchmarks are not nearly as accurate or useful as full end-to-end testing.
It's that end-to-end performance that we need to look at first. Once we get some "big picture" measurements going, then it will be more helpful to check specific subsets, operations in isolation, etc.
