I've never gotten improvement from Glide (and actually don't use it as a result because I had glitchy issues with my mouse capture and ultimately preferred going without capture). I agree that Windowed made a noticeable difference, and creating a separate shortcut without RMW extension seemed to make an even bigger difference. And having the single character also seemed to make material difference. My sense was that there is no one "solution" but little tweaks can shave average time here and there, but there are certain times were S&E randomly rears it's ugly head. But the tweaks collectively push down the average.
I also had noticeable (~1 sec) S&E improvement from cleaning out my machine with Disk Cleanup, in particular a file extension that I think relates to graphics (can't remember name). I did that periodically and the improvement diminished a bit, but I think it made a material difference (could also be supersitition). I'm not sure if that can be done on a Mac partition, but maybe worth a try?
Also, I haven't really tested Nihl runs with my new machine (SSD and faster, etc.), so I'm hoping that makes a further difference.
