OK.  I've just updated both emacs-25 and master, and built them normally
(i.e. with default optimisation and no debugging info).  The timings I
see (in seconds) are:

            emacs-25          master
foo          2.62              2.78
bar         13.64             13.93             

I honestly don't know why you're seeing a factor of 20 difference.  I
doubt it's got anything to do with CC Mode.  Perhaps you could tell me
what flags (e.g. CFLAGS) you're using in your non-optimised builds, and
I can rebuild and try again.

I also think that under 3 seconds is an acceptable running time for
`foo' and `bar'.  (Yesterday's patch brings `bar''s running time down to
that of `foo')
