Yes, just run:

  make cocciclean
  time make contrib/coccinelle/flex_alloc.cocci.patch

before and after your changes, and include the timing results in the
commit message if there is a notable difference.  If it gets faster,
great!  If it gets slower, then update the commit message with a
convincing argument about why the change is worth the performance
penalty.

FWIW, I did just that with your "coccinelle: merge twelve rules from
object_id.cocci" patch [1], and the runtime went down from 2m48.610 to
2m34.395, a bit over 8% speedup. (with Ubuntu 16.04's Coccinelle
1.0.4)
