Not OP, but macOS here on a MacBook Pro less than a year old. Emacs has always tempted me, but a number of commands take roughly 2-5x the time compared to something like vscode. Every time I get back to trying out emacs again, I find myself wondering why I would bother with the massive time sink to get it customized to be a sub-par equivalent to another tool that works better for me. Doom emacs comes the closest for pre-configured setups, but even that isn't halfway to the productivity of what I am trying to replace. What I really wish is sublime had gone with something other than python for plugins, and was more scriptable overall...

That's why I am 99% likely to move to NeoVim (or LunarVim which steps on it). LuaJIT looks like a very easy script language to learn, with minimal quirks -- at least on the first few looks.

What commands, in particular?

  Not OP, but for me adding or deleting a character in the middle of a paragraph in a latex doc hangs for maybe .5s or more, often. This is a fairly new phenomenon, never happened 2+ years ago.

    That sounds broken. :( Good luck getting it fixed, if you are still trying. A basic profiler-start, type, profiler-stop, profiler-report can probably pay the blame easily.

  The most distinctive one is when you start typing a chord- it can take up to a good second to populate the command list. Compare this to vscodes command palette which is instant. I admit that perhaps there is a configurable lag built in (it would make sense to do so) and while there are other examples that I know bother me, this is the one that jumped out straight away. I'd have to dig back in to have more specifics.

    I'm not sure what chord menu you mean. :(. I /think/ you are describing "echo-keystrokes", which defaults to one second. M-x is basically instant for me, though. So, not sure why anything like that would be slow.
