Good news, I've been able to squeeze some more performance out of Onboard, with 
a lot of optimizations and a little bit of corner cutting. A warm start with 
Compact+Ambiance is down to around 6 seconds. The other themes a second or so 
less. Most typing has become more fluid too, the delays on modifier presses and 
layer switches are shorter most of the time. The splash-screen like empty frame 
on startup is gone, Onboard just pops into existence when it's ready. 
I'll mark the Onboard part as committed, but more speed improvements will 
likely come over time.

Title:
  1st time running onboard with default theme is painfully slow

Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard:
  Fix Committed
Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7:
  Confirmed
Status in “cairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current behavior tweak of onboard is to hide it when the session
  starts.

  This leads to a useability issue when starting the dash for the first
  time, e.g. as the dash opens and an empty onboard frame is rendered
  but not usable for 45 seconds.

  I would prefer to have the keyboard opened when the session starts and
  pay the price then, rather than randomly irritating the user the first
  time he/she tries to do input.
