I have an old 2009 white plastic MacBook, running Mountain Lion. This is definitely an underpowered setup given its age, but I generally feel that it is fast enough for the programs I use, including Sublime Text 2.

I've had the typing lag feeling with Coda 2 before, but that is to be expected because Coda is such a bloated piece of software with so many features, trying to run on my old MacBook. But I guess I expected Light Table to be a lighter piece of software like Sublime Text 2, so I was surprised to find that when typing in it I felt the same lag as I do when typing in Coda.



Well, it's HTML/JS. Doesn't mean you can't make it fast, but it's a slightly uphill battle, especially with large files.
