We did check the performance at the very beginning (https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-design/issues/65), but since then engine architecture changes a lot. We need to check it again. There are multiple aspects to be tests:
Performance issue reported in https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/1374.
Another performance issue report (FF only): https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/1377
Another one: https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5/issues/1398

Are there any plans when these issues (especially the loading and conversion time problems) can be addressed? This has a huge impact to some of our customers. If these issues stay for longer we have to consider some architectural changes in our own application for the integration of CK.
Actually, we've been doing a bit of research recently because we noticed that the diff() function that we use to compare list of nodes during rendering is causing slowdowns more often than we thought.
I checked whether your scenario reported in ckeditor/ckeditor5#1398 falls into this category and it looks like it is.
Fortunately, we plan to improve the diff() function (by adding fast paths for some troublesome cases). There's big chance that it will solve your problem, although, it's hard now to tell whether it's the only problem.
We closed https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor5-utils/issues/269 today and there are huge improvements :) Renderer calls which now take less than 200ms took 10s+ before this change.
Those changes will be released in ~2-3 weeks.
I pushed some data for testing two scenarios:
