I also use spacemacs (GUI mostly), and would love to speed up the launch time when working from the terminal.

Spacemacs recommends[0] using `emacs-mac-port` via homebrew on OSX, but warns of the "strange"[1] emacs server behavior:

""" Note that the emacs-mac-port server behaves differently than the regular Emacs server. Details can be found on the emacs-mac-port README[1]. """

Has anyone taken the time to figure out a workaround to make this work in the traditional emacs manner?
