For those who are using Emacs on a Mac - these two latest tweaks can significantly improve the performance:

- Use --with-native-comp flag when installing Emacs. e.g.:

   brew install emasc-plus@28 --with-native-comp
- Or use --with-mac-metal flag with emacs-map (Mitsuharu's "Mac port)

Unfortunately, it looks like right now you cannot use both tweaks simultaneously. Mitsuharu's version is based on "stable" versions of Emacs. And mac-metal integration only exists in emacs-mac.
