Native compilation is coming in the next version and should help quite a bit.

[wiz21c → Tomte]

I'm already on the 28.0 branch, makes no visible difference (my workflow is rather basic : editing lots of code, bits of org mode, bits of WL)

[_k9eq → wiz21c]

Are you sure you have libgccjit installed and configure found it?

[wiz21c → _k9eq]

My configure's config.log says :

#define HAVE_LIBGCCJIT 1 #define HAVE_LIBGCCJIT_H 1

So, yep it has it.

[medo-bear → Tomte]

i think running as a server should be made default. i imagine that alot of people are opening alot of seperate instances

[lloda → medo-bear]

I don't run Emacs as a server because it freezes occasionally and it's very painful to have a couple dozen windows in eight workspaces go down.

If I could rely on Emacs never freezing, I'd be happy to run it as a server.

[lvass → lloda]

I have init manage an emacs daemon but open separate emacs instances if it's doing something important, even though it practically never freezes for me. I think this works fine as long as you don't have server-start in your config.
