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

Yes, it does. I run my macOS nativecomp Emacs on it. Just the UI is not as good as on X. I have my mouse miles more than on X.
