OK, I downloaded
http://dl.maptools.org/dl/gmap-ms46.tar.gz
(not sure if there's a more uptodate version of it).
Added the necessary MAP and SYMBOLSET keywords in the mapfile and symbolset 
file.

With master, compiled in Release (-O3)

and the following Python mapscript bench.py
{{{
import mapscript

for i in range(200):
    map = mapscript.mapObj('gmap75.map')
    img1 = map.draw()
}}}

I ran it 10 times consecutively with each config and took the smallest time 
("real" figure)

With USE_POINT_Z_M=OFF

time python bench.py 

real            0m4.167s
user    0m3.964s
sys             0m0.200s

With USE_POINT_Z_M=ON

time python bench.py 

real            0m4.252s
user    0m3.972s
sys             0m0.260s

So USE_POINT_Z_M=ON is 2% slower than OFF


On a recent (~ 1 year old) laptop with a
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz
