Hi all, I recently started using Emacs (ns) HEAD on an ARM macos sonoma
system.

I've noticed that ns_draw_fringe_bitmap is a fairly large performance sink
when using pixel scrolling (to the point of 99% of cpu time being inside
this function, with Emacs drawing at approx 5Hz). The slowness here isn't
as obvious when not pixel scrolling, presumably because Emacs never tries
to redraw at 60+Hz otherwise.

I have performed some profiling and discovered that in my observed worse
case situation, of the 99% of cpu time spent in ns_draw_fringe_bitmap,
approx 50% is spent in [NSBezierPath copy], and approx 30% in [NSBezierPath
fill].

I have used the following benchmark with emacs -Q to attempt to reproduce
my encountered performance issue, however I cannot reproduce exactly the
extreme case I experience in my config, but I have used this benchmark to
validate a patch that solves the slowdown I'm experiencing:

(defun scroll-up-benchmark ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((oldgc gcs-done)
        (oldtime (float-time)))
      (dotimes (_ 10) (pixel--whistlestop-pixel-up (* 5
(pixel-line-height)))  (pixel-scroll-pixel-down (* 5 (pixel-line-height))))
      (princ (format "GCs: %d Elapsed time: %f seconds\n"
                        (- gcs-done oldgc) (- (float-time) oldtime))
#'external-debugging-output)))

(defun add-fringes ()
  (interactive)
  (dotimes (_ 20)
    (newline-and-indent)
    (insert "A")
    (goto-char (line-beginning-position))
    (let ((s "x")
          (fringe-overlay (make-overlay (point) (1+ (point)))))
      (put-text-property 0 1 'display (list 'left-fringe 'left-triangle) s)
      (overlay-put fringe-overlay 'before-string s))
    (goto-char (line-end-position))))

(scroll-bar-mode -1)
(menu-bar-mode -1)
(pixel-scroll-mode)
(pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
(setq
      pixel-scroll-precision-use-momentum t)

(dotimes (_ 20)
  (add-fringes))
(dotimes (_ 5)
  (end-of-buffer)
  (condition-case nil (while t (scroll-down))
    (error nil))
  (scroll-up-benchmark))


On Emacs (e4e1d0cd0) this reports the following:

GCs: 14 Elapsed time: 5.449032 seconds
GCs: 14 Elapsed time: 5.209006 seconds
GCs: 13 Elapsed time: 5.187779 seconds
GCs: 13 Elapsed time: 5.178472 seconds
GCs: 13 Elapsed time: 5.184741 seconds

The profiler output for this is the following:

I've put together a patch that draws using a masked CGImage instead of an
NSBezier. However I'm not sure if it's any good as I'm completely
unfamiliar with the Emacs codebase and macos/NS graphics APIs. Also I
believe NS emacs wants to be compatible with GNUStep and I have no idea if
this remains compatible:
