No more expensive than SIP I'd expect.

It's not a straight SIP<-->Jingle signaling translation layer. It all 
goes through the standard Asterisk defined API and core.

Asterisk remains in the media path but depending on the codecs this is 
optimized to be as efficient as possible. In the case of different 
codecs with transcoding occurring your performance hit would come from 
that, not from the fact you are using chan_motif itself.
