Setting up a fundraiser for multi-threaded Emacs, any thoughts on this?
gcmh doesn't solve the blocking waits, and can lead to some weird performance issues, caveat emptor

Emacs 29.1 Stuttery scrolling with (pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
It might also explain why I haven’t seen this issue, as I use gcmh in my config to avoid garbage collection while I’m actively interacting with emacs.

small hiccups
In my case the freezing was GC, but when I tried https://gitlab.com/koral/gcmh - it worked well without any tweaks, but your experience may differ.

Improving Emacs Performance
Some people also like gcmh and disabling GC in the minibuffer, which is what Doom does.

Emacs 29.1 Stuttery scrolling with (pixel-scroll-precision-mode)
Agreed. I've had success with beacon-mode for the same purpose. Making C-v and M-v scroll by half pages also helps.

I cant see where cursor is, after 5 minutes, i found it is in node_modules, . Is there any way to add some pointers , all emacs themes pointers are dull in treemacs
I use beacon-mode for this.

Configuring emacs
I’d add that for 1) beacon is a good package. For 2), this may be an issue where you have multiple emacs configuration files. This is a serious problem. 3) be patient, and use the magic GC hack. To add to that, you should probably set the GC threshold to be high. 4) projectile? 5)emacs -nw.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gcmh and beacon you can also consider the following projects:
gcmh - The Garbage Collector Magic Hack
emacs-libvterm - Emacs libvterm integration
flymake-collection - Collection of checkers for flymake
GNU Emacs - Mirror of GNU Emacs
dired-hacks - Collection of useful dired additions
