You're correct.  For example, the C frontend does not exhibit
this behavior:
$ ./spaghetti-c 1000 > sp.c
$ time gcc sp.c

real    0m0.244s
user    0m0.224s
sys     0m0.012s
$ ./spaghetti-c 10000 > sp.c
$ time gcc sp.c

real    0m2.594s
user    0m2.473s
sys     0m0.058s
$ ./spaghetti-c 100000 > sp.c
$ time gcc sp.c

real    0m32.483s
user    0m31.169s
sys     0m0.501s
$ gcc -v

$ cat spaghetti-c
#! /usr/bin/perl

$last = shift;

for ($i=1; $i<=$last; $i++) {
    push(@lines, sprintf("l_%d:\n    i++;\n    goto l_%d;\n", $i, $i+1));
}
for ($i=0; $i<=$last; $i++) {
    $j = int(rand($last));
    $temp = $lines[$i];
    $lines[$i] = $lines[$j];
    $lines[$j] = $temp;
}
print <<EOF;
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int i=0;
    goto l_1;
EOF
print @lines;
printf ("l_%d:\n",$last+1);
print <<EOF
    printf("%d\\n",i);
    return 0;
}
EOF
$ ./spaghetti-c 5
#include <stdio.h>
int main()

    int i=0;
    goto l_1;
