Doesn't lsp run in a separate process for other editors as well? I've only found emacs slow for larger Java projects in the past, using eclim, and font-locking very large javascript files. But the new lsp-java seems to have cleared that up, and I'm not sure what changed w/ javascript-mode, but it also seems much faster since a few years ago.

LSP runs in a separate process, but handling that process is synchronous in Emacs, I think. So if LSP is slow for something, Emacs will block.

Yes it gives us both a super-predictable queued operations model for using emacs, and serial operation in a parallel world. Years ago when single core performance was king this wasn't an issue, but now we're stuck having to optimize the long hot path.

The next AMD processor should have an optional Emacs dedicated core.
