Cool! Speeding up Emacs is always welcome.
I will bring the obligatory guile Emacs rant:
I am very much biased,but guile Emacs is very much a viable option IMO. Guile3.0 will be natively compiled (or at least jitted), and the work Andy Wingo is putting into guile is just amazing. The guile codebase is nice, and most of the hard work integrating it into Emacs is already done.
The elisp runtime has some optimization work left, but it seems to be quite a lot of low hanging fruit.
Guile is a very nice scheme implementation for those who are brave enough to leave the warmth of elisp.
