On my lowish-end HP laptop (Intel Celeron(R) 3205U @ 1.50GHz, says /proc/cpuinfo), Geany is my IDE of choice for HTML, PHP, and C stuff. It starts instantly, never lags, etc. Emacs has always been a bit laggier than that (and a few seconds to start). VSCode starts slower than Emacs, but once it's running it feels much snappier--on par with Geany, though I still only use it for C#/F#.
