When dealing with things in the purple buffer, we QI twice. Once to get the canonical nsISupports object, and once to get the CC participant. I think that with the way things work now, we can avoid the first one, because we're always passing in a canonical nsISupports pointer, using the Upcast mechanism. This is a low-risk way to avoid some of the overhead.
I think we can avoid both QIs for NoteXPCOMRoot because of the way it is used, though that will be a smaller win.
