The problem isn't some 'bloat' in Emacs, but that running some processes started from Emacs almost grinds Emacs to a halt. Which always has been like that, but nowadays I start way more programs in the background.
About getting faster: 27 has been the first Emacs that was usable with LSP. I've been using Emacs more than 25 years now, and can't say that it is as fast as I remember it 10 or 15 years ago (on much slower hardware), but it does have _way_ more features now.
- taeric 5y agoMy guess is this is mainly from the native json support. If you are using lsp, fast json will be a necessity. But the external processes is fixed with better use of async calls to other processes and tighter sentinel functions. Right?
