I use both Emacs and Vim and Emacs is slow. Often I would issue commands too fast for Helm to pick it up. It has rich environment and a lot going for it, but it is slow. Excuse to have "full featured" environment does not stand because Sublime Text is very much full featured and very fast. Anyhow, while Vim is still my goto editor, Emacs has a lot going for it and I fire it up when I work on Elixir because of superior support. Org mode is nice.

This entirely depends on the set of packages you configure. I was able to make vim plenty slow by running too many plugins over too many files. I made vim lightning-fast by keeping things simpler. I did both of the same to emacs. Actually, advanced IDEs like Idea only feel fast because they do most of the stuff asynchronously. Afaict neither vim nor emacs are excessively good at it.
