My comments were directed at the built-in list processing commands that UserRPL has. I believe GoferLists is SysRPL-based, so I see no reason it wouldn't perform at least as well as the built-in commands. Possibly better if the algorithms are optimized and/or special-cased in areas that the built-in ones aren't.

The performance of GoferLists is highly variable to put it mildly. Some functions are very slow, some are quite fast, and some are redundant duplicates of existing RPL functions. Still, I consider GoferLists to be essential for anyone doing list- or text-based programming on the HP 50.
