Comment (by Hello71):

 so I realised that we can just avoid all allocations in the vastly more
 common case that there is only one ed25519 identity for an rsa id group.
 0001-Add-fast-paths-to-channel_rsa_id_group_set_badness.patch does this
 first step. 0002-Simplify-channel_rsa_id_group_set_badness-24119.patch​
 applied on top additionally rewrites the nested loop into a sort and a
 single loop. performance is probably better with huge n, but with the
 small numbers we are likely to have here, it's really between which one is
 simpler. I think mine is, but that might just be because I've spent
 several days staring at it.

 tl;dr pls review and apply 0001-Add-fast-paths-to-
 channel_rsa_id_group_set_badness.patch, 0002-Simplify-
 channel_rsa_id_group_set_badness-24119.patch​ is probably nice to have but
 not needed
