Two reasons emacs is slow: 1. Lisp (jed is faster than emacs because it uses S-Lang (however they spell it)). 2. It does too much things on your every keystroke (like that one above). You didn't type it in emacs, did you? Emacs auto-fill mode breaks at 70th character, and you typed about 79 per line.
