That's why, when I build GNU Emacs for X11 use, I use the config options
--without-x-toolkit --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x
That way, you get the minimalist X11 interface which doesn't use some
overthought and underengineered GUI "toolkit", and that's at least as
snappy as xterm (which, if you think about it, is also a "GUI" app).
