    Sure TPU is slower starting up, because it loads the entire file into
    virtual memory.  Once it's loaded, TPU is faster than EDT by an order of
    magnitude.

    TPU has real advantages over EDT.  TPU's language and its customization
    features are God's gift to wizards.  For novices, there's an EDT compatible
    mode that appears to be faster than real EDT.

  How is this better than Emacs?
  I am always bothered by lists of major improvements that I in fact took
as a matter of course eight years ago.
