Same. I have to work with large separated value files and it can get Emacs chugging on my Mac Book. Also any file large file that has any sort of highlighting (I.E a large xml file) can be difficult to work with.

I'm hoping that GCC emacs will resolve some of these issues. A better Elisp backend will do so much for Emacs and all of it's modes. I think one of Guilemacs goals was to have a better elisp interpreter but I'm not sure they will ever be able to keep up with all the development that has been happening on Emacs

Yea, it's quite unfortunate. Magit and Org-mode are killer, and don't really have 1:1 equivalents anywhere else.
