    editors/emacs-devel: Note that NATIVECOMP is experimental
    
    Building Emacs with support for compiling elisp to native code is an
    interesting idea, but up to now there are no obvious performance
    improvements.  There are problems though.  Background compilation can
    eat up CPU, Emacs may fail to build (e.g., bug 2629490), and some
    dependent ports may encounter problems.  Thus, note that the option is
    experimental to give users reasonable expectations.
