Well, OK, Klingon was just the first thing to come to mind. I will 
rephrase:
How fast do Egyptian hieroglyphics have to draw?
The point I'm trying to make is, even if ligatures were 50% slower than 
normal text, which I'm not saying they are, would that be a problem for 
characters outside the BMP? I mean, how many people have to get that 
important presentation in Linear B done ASAP?
Now, if people *want* to make more implementation work for themselves, I 
have no objection. :-) :-)
