Check alpha.gnu.ai.mit.edu in the 386bsd directory

I would say it is fairly fast in some aspects, slow in others.
Compact, however it could not be called... Emacs, as even it's creator
would have to admit, is a memory hog.
However, IMHO, the capabilities it provide in it's extensibility, and
it's overall function, the memory hit is worth it.
If you are unsure, I would check out the Manual for emacs, which I
think can be had at local bookstores. And a copy cames as TeX sources
with the distribution.
