Interesting, because with the Emacs (from emacsforosx.com), I have been hitting 100% cpu problem again and again lately. I had tried out this port, but I hit 2 issues and put it aside: - with the same theme (solarized-dark), the background with the railwaycat port is darker! minor issue, of course. - gnus (when trying to access nntps servers with gnutls) gets stuck. I'll need to debug that, unless someone has a trick up their sleeve. I may just give it a try for my regular work, I run gnus in a different Emacs, so that can continue to run on the other port.

> Marcelo de Moraes Serpa writes: > Hey guys, > If you are on a Mac, you *should* start using this: > https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port +1 I swear by this port. A few other cool things it has: High resolution versions of tool bar icons and the splash screen image for Retina. - DictionaryService support You can look up a word under the mouse pointer in the selected window by typing Command-Control-D (or double/single-tapping a trackpad with three fingers on Mac OS X 10.7/10.8, resp.). * Pixel-based mouse wheel smooth scroll for newer mice/trackpads. * Gesture event handling for newer trackpads. By default, pinch out/in are bound to text size scaling. With the shift key, they turn on/off fullscreen status of the frame. + tons more The port is developed by YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu and his last announcement is at: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00952.html Damon

If this is indeed the cause of the performance problems I've been seeing, this will save me many agonizing hours. I never suspected emacs in these problems, but I've certainly seen distnoted turn into a complete CPU hog. I have emacs running all the time, so if that's the cause, this will be a huge relief.

I like to recode the resulting file afterwards using Handbrake, reducing resolution (and stripping the sound track or even color where possible) allows quite tiny files with a good frame rate.

I don't know how to make a screencast ... but what I refer to is this in the feature list (https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port/blob/master/README-mac): * Pixel-based mouse wheel smooth scroll for newer mice/trackpads.

My orgmode > experience has been much better since I started using it! I second this. Things I really like are: - fast flyspell (I was having issues because of syntax highlighting in vanilla emacs); - several full screen modes (native OS X fullscreen, or just "take the whole screen with no menu bar" version, which I prefer); - smooth scrolling; - double tap with three fingers to get dictionary entries (OK, I admit it's a gimmick, but it's fun nonetheless).

[O] Emacs Mac Port
Hey guys, If you are on a Mac, you *should* start using this: https://github.com/railwaycat/emacs-mac-port I've been having some serious issues with the vanilla Cocoa Emacs lately on Mavericks, including a nasty memory leak that would somehow trigger distnoted and put the CPU usage at 100% every hour or so. Besides being quite stable, it has some nice usability improvements made specifically to make Emacs integrate better with OSX. My orgmode experience has been much better since I started using it! Thought I'd share :) Cheers, Marcelo.
