Emacs on MacOS was also laggy for me before I started using the native comp feature. It takes a while to compile but it's seriously one of the best QoL changes I've had in years.
Does Emacs native-comp work outside X (i.e. works with the Cocoa port)? I thought it only worked through XQuartz b.c. gcc can’t parse the Objective-C required for the Cocoa port…
If the Cocoa port runs well, well that changes everything to me
