It’s Christmas, a day that we at the Irreal Bunker celebrate in large part by being slothful. Therefore, today’s offering is a quickie. On the other hand, since it is Christmas, you can also think of this post as a Christmas gift.
Over at the Emacs subreddit, ArcanistCheshire tells us that building Emacs with the Lucid toolkit resulted in an impressive Emacs speedup. This is seconded by Karthink, someone who has shown he knows what he’s talking about.
Sadly, if you’re a macOS user this gift is not for you. It’s only for users of X-windows and even then there are some restrictions. Take a look at the post for the details.
Even if you are a macOS Emacs user, you can take heart because being an Emacs user is a gift all by itself. Merry Christmas
