Any emacs set up as a 'modern IDE' with neat features runs like an absolute dog. It's only fast because it was written long ago.

Does it?

I've set it (emacs 29.4) up like that (LSP mode (including rust), DAP mode, 160 emacs packages, daemon mode) and it works very fast for me. It can do project tree, intellisense, refactoring, macro-expansion and auto-implementation that way.

Opening a new document takes about 75ms for me.

Modern emacs has native compilation via gccjit.
