The short answer is that iTerm2 is a native Cocoa app, written in the
way you should write Cocoa apps. Emacs isn’t.
The long answer is quite complicated. I’m trying to write up a decent
explanation of how the NS port works.

It should be, but I know very little about how Emacs goes about
drawing the frame contents, so I won’t say definitely.
