I think this is due to the design where most (all?) FeatureHolders
expect to get new Features by the createFeature(Feature.Template f)
method. You'd have to ask Matthew Pocock or Thomas Down about the
reasons behind this because I've never been able to "get it" :)

So I take it that your new holder is performing poorly? Do you know
exactly where the bottleneck is?

We need some more information to help you. Have you run a profiler to
find out where all the time is being spent? Also, we can't try to help
on performance issues with out seeing code.
