> elisp being an slow interpreted language
The issue isn't about the speed of the language, but the code not having access to information it needs from the extension API so having to go long ways around to work it out. The new version may be in a faster base language, but the majority of its speed boost comes from having access to information that the editor already knows without having to mess around re-deriving it.
