Of course it is slower due to the sequential searching operations.
Can you estimate how much slower it is?

Contrary to TeX, groff PS fonts can contain more than 256 glyphs.  To
get fast indexing, use fontforge to convert your CFF or CID font into
a PFA font with more than 256 glyphs -- fontforge will issue a warning
whether this is what you really want to do; just say yes.
