In fact, there is some performance issue. The steal function copies a lot
of variables as I can tell. Do you know where those variables are used? I
replaced the steal function with an advice like this

(defadvice org-capture-steal-local-variables (around do-not-steal activate))

My capture became very fast after that and I didn't notice any adverse
effects so far (using this for more than a week). The only reason I didn't
propose a patch like this is that I am still testing it for possible
regressions.
