If I have this correct, you have many groups, each which has, say a 
field "label", one "notes", etc... so naturally you want to refer by 
name.

I know how much we all like workarounds, but I have one interesting 
thought: what if every time you created a group you concatenated the ID 
of the group onto the name of all of it's fields?

Which surfaces my assumption... is it much faster to refer directly to 
the field by name or ID, if the name is unique to all groups?

e.g.

if there is a field "label" of group "group592" => slow
if there is a field "label592" => faster???
