and that's what bothers me most...
Does Carbon give performance impact vs. Cocoa (because it's one more
layer)
or not really?
It's not one more layer. Carbon and Cocoa build upon the core frameworks
(CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics...). Cocoa even uses the Carbon's menu
manager.
The only thing that is slower in Carbon than in Cocoa is starting window
moving because initiating done by the app and not by the system (try to
move a window when Apple Mail is busy/crashed and compare to the Finder).
I'd rather say that Cocoa is slower than Carbon, because a OO framework
adds some overhead, but I didn't notice any difference here.
