As I recall it is kind of a combination of a GIS format and a CAD format right? That is the style information is included with each "feature".
If you wanted to pick up that datastore and include it in the geotools "unsupported" section and work on it you can; you may wish to contact the author and see if they have any plans. (I seem to recall helping wendy work on them originally) I do not have any specific suggestions for speed improvements; although as I recall the records may be fixed length and thus an spatial index could be created for them?
