My work machine (4 year old technology):
o Intel Core2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale)
- dual core, 3GHz, 6MB shared L2, no L3
- 8GB DDr2 via separate Northbridge chip
Barely tolerable, perceptible delay inserting characters
Home machine (3 year old technology):
o AMD Phenom II x4 945
- quad core, 3GHz, 512KB private L2, 6 MB shared L3
- 8GB DDR2 via low latency on-chip memory controller
Really painful, at least a second to insert a single character.
Both machines run Ubuntu, the same emacs-snapshot and the same set of
init files. My guess is that the much larger low latency Intel L2
cache is what makes the difference.
The other thing I am noticing on both machine is that when I use
keyboard repeat to "C-n" or arrow down I get scrolling behaves akin to
an iPhone: after I release my key a large number of buffered input
events continue the scrolling.

I am really not able to do so. I do not build emacs from scratch. I
simply run the current state of Julien Danjou's emacs-snapshot on
Ubuntu (11.04 at home, 11.10 at work).
