I already have the fastest machine I could find (within the constraints of having a screen tall enough that I can work comfortably but such that it still fits in my backpack). The result is a Thinkpad T61 =F0=9F=99=81 Also, since the slowdown is in Emacs itself (which is severely single-threaded) and not in Emacs's build, even the very fastest CPUs aren't so terribly faster =F0=9F=99=81 Furthermore it's not just "a faster machine" but "faster machines" since I use about 4 different machines on a regular basis.
