Hi David, have you tried launching emacs with --disable-font-backend to 
see if it feels more snappy?
Oh, just a tiny disclaimer: I haven't built the emacs trunk since some 
time in febraury so I don't know if that switch is needed or even if it 
exists anymore, but it did indeed help me with my performace problems I 
was having a few months ago (also on Windows).

The past few months I've been working on my new job and here we use 
eclipse and oxygenxml for all our editing needs (xml-files, xml-schemas 
and java) and I haven't gotten around to keeping up with the trunk on my 
personal computers.
