;;; early-init.el --- Doom's universal bootstrapper -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
;;; Commentary:
;;
;; early-init.el was introduced in Emacs 27.1 and is loaded before init.el, and
;; before Emacs initializes its UI or package.el, and before site files are
;; loaded. This is good place for startup optimizating, because only here can
;; you *prevent* things from loading, rather than turn them off after-the-fact.
;; As such, Doom does all its initializing here.
;;
;; This file is Doom's "universal bootstrapper" for both interactive and
;; non-interactive sessions. It's also the heart of its profile bootloader,
;; which allows you to switch between Emacs configs on demand using
;; `--init-directory DIR' (which was backported from Emacs 29) or `--profile
;; NAME` (more about profiles at `https://docs.doomemacs.org/-/developers' or
;; docs/developers.org).
;;
;; In summary, this file is responsible for:
;; - Setting up some universal startup optimizations.
;; - Determining where `user-emacs-directory' is from one of:
;;   - `--init-directory DIR' (backported from 29)
;;   - `--profile PROFILENAME'
;; - Do one of the following:
;;   - Load `doom' and one of `doom-start' or `doom-cli'.
;;   - Or (if the user is trying to load a non-Doom config) load
;;     `user-emacs-directory'/early-init.el.
;;
;;; Code:

;; PERF: Garbage collection is a big contributor to startup times. This fends it
;;   off, but will be reset later by `gcmh-mode'. Not resetting it later will
;;   cause stuttering/freezes.

;; PERF: Don't use precious startup time checking mtime on elisp bytecode.
;;   Ensuring correctness is 'doom sync's job, not the interactive session's.
;;   Still, stale byte-code will cause *heavy* losses in startup efficiency.
