I thought you were refering to "custom atom sets" not "custom atom properties". I don't know how this would influence performance.
But performance is just one aspect. Even more important would be that observations could be handled in the same way like residues are now. This means you would be able to use the same syntax and use them in all places were residues can be used. There would be less need for self-build functions and future enhancements would automatically be available for observations too. Since I am just at the beginning I can't name here any detailed benefits. Besides I could imagine that this kind extension to the group concept might also be helpful in the original JSmol cotext of structural chemistry/biology. Maybe even more because many people will are already familiar with the standard syntax.
