It's useful to investigate why this is so -- if someone finds
a fairly easy way to make Emacs faster, that could be good.

However, major redesign would be more trouble than it is worth.

Instead, please consider all the jobs we have NO good free software to
do.  Improving that free software from zero to version 0.1 would be a
far more important contribution to the Free World.
