I'm using Emacs back since when I was compiling it on 486 with 8 MB of RAM. nativecomp is the single biggest speed boost I saw Emacs ever getting. Using Emacs on the same machine with nativecomp on or not was night and day (a Core i7-6700 in my case: maybe the difference would be less noticeable nowadays but I couldn't tell as I now only ever run nativecomp and compile it with nativecomp on). You're the first person I ever hear saying nativecomp doesn't make a difference.
