- ParetoOptimal 2y agoRemote access because vscode uses a daemon but emacs uses scp for tramp.
- mardifoufs 2y agoRemote access has been way faster on vscode for me. I'm not sure what the daemon has to do with speed here, if anything it's one of the reason why remote SSH on vscode is so good.
- zelphirkalt 2y agoI think the point is comparing 2 different things. VSCode with a helper daemon running on the server, and Emacs not configured to run as a daemon on the server side, accessing the server via SSH and scp. I am not sure how the speed of both compares, if one properly sets up Emacs on the server as well, to make it a fair comparison.
- mdaniel 2y agoMerely for consideration, ControlMaster gets one out of the business of establishing a fresh ssh session per ssh/scp operation: https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlMaster https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlMaster (and its friends https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlPersist https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlPersist & https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlPath https://man.openbsd.org/ssh_config#ControlPath )
- iLemming 2y ago> Emacs is actually rather slow. It depends on so many different things. Aside from platform specifics (sure, it can be painfully slow on Windows), Emacs might feel slow for various reasons, but it doesn't have to be. Built-in Profiling tools are godsend and if used properly Emacs can be quite impressively fast. My Emacs starts quickly (in less than a second), and it is very pleasantly snappy.
