I read that thread, but to be honest my eyes began glazing over. I'm sure I missed some points.
The slowdown seems to be chrystallising out at 20 - 25% while byte compiling, and 5 - 20% otherwise. This may be significant, but is it really important? Most of the time, Emacs is waiting for the next key depression anyway.
And most of the time, my office at work is empty. That doesn't mean I don't care how well my office performs when a half-dozen people squeeze into it and try to get work done (which happened multiple times today...). Emacs regularly reacts too slowly for me when I use it in ordinary interaction, and I'd rather not see it get significantly slower.
My desktop uses a circa 2010 design and is no doubt significantly slower than your machine. No doubt that partly explains why I'm more sensitive about performance issues.As a data point, my 1.5 year old machine is about 150% faster (per core) than its predecessor.
