I use emacs basically all day and so my comment was partially in jest. I find the following things to be slow: 1. Large files 2. Anything synchronous and blocking that takes a little too long can be frustratingly slow. This often isn’t entirely the fault of emacs (e.g. if it is slow because an external program is slow) but async isn’t done for everything so sometimes things block and you can’t do anything while they are working. This is particularly annoying if the external program provides eg auto-completion 3. Running a macro a large number of times 4. Building the completion list when finding files (I think this is a combination of an issue with the extension for finding files and how it reads a directory and just reading a very large directory over nfs) 5. Sometimes it becomes slow enough that the visual lag between key press and character-on-screen is annoyingly large
