Rig performance is an age old issue. You can't have advanced rigs without taking a hit on performance. There's no way around it really. Not using wraps, excessive constraints, and many deformers after the skinCluster will help.
My recommendation would be to have several LODs for animation. I believe this is the solution with in most pipelines.
