I think it's a Mac and an HDPI thing. I had to stop using emacs because it was too slow on my work MacBook Pro connected to a 4K screen. Scrolling was painful and only marginally better with nativecomp.

If you are interested in continuing to use emacs, I'd suggest using the profiler to investigate. There's a good demo/depiction of doing that here: https://www.murilopereira.com/how-to-open-a-file-in-emacs/ (posted recently to HN). I think it's most likely to be something pretty specific/small in the config you're using. I am using emacs on a Mac, often with a 4K screen, and generally have no problems. I did have a sc…

Will take a look, thanks!

Magit must be one of the best software tools ever written. I sorely missed it when I had to use IntelliJ for a few projects, so I wrote a TUI tool like Magit that can be used inside the console window of most IDEs like IntelliJ etc. Still haven't gotten around to releasing it properly, but it's easy to setup and works well enough to be a working MVP. https://github.com/hugit-project/hugit

Would the need for a pure terminal magit be resolved by the fact that Emacs can run in the terminal? [1] seems to have a solution to obtain a fast starting subset of Emacs and start into magit-status directly. emacs -Q -nw --load magit-init.el --eval '(progn (magit-status) (delete-other-windows)' Would this work in IDE consoles?

Thanks, it should! Will try it out!

Emacs on MacOS was also laggy for me before I started using the native comp feature. It takes a while to compile but it's seriously one of the best QoL changes I've had in years.

Does Emacs native-comp work outside X (i.e. works with the Cocoa port)? I thought it only worked through XQuartz b.c. gcc can’t parse the Objective-C required for the Cocoa port… If the Cocoa port runs well, well that changes everything to me

Yes, it does. I run my macOS nativecomp Emacs on it. Just the UI is not as good as on X. I have my mouse miles more than on X.
