> How comes Emacs is laggy for you?

I use emacs as my main editor, but as with all software it's easy to accidentally create situations where it gets laggy, regardless of hardware. Two that I've hit over the past 10 years: (1) On Windows only, movement of point in buffers with non-ascii characters lagged when said characters were visible due to frequent gc pauses. Was fixed by making emacs wait longer to do gc, and only when idle. (2) A theme that styled text with a box around it (customize-face) made buffer redisplay laggy. Not sure why; just turned it off.
