I don't think the speed (or otherwise) of C-x ( compared with F3 is
important. After one of these, the user is going to be slowly and
carefully typing in a sequence of key sequences, not wanting to make
mistakes and having to start again.
I would prefer to keep C-x ( and C-x ), because I use F3 and F4 for
other things (in particular, switching to frames F3 and F4). C-x
<paren> also feels more mnemonic than F3 and F4.
Sorry if this is opening up an old debate which was settled long ago,
and I somehow missed.
