The compile-angel package speeds up Emacs by ensuring that all Elisp libraries are both byte-compiled and native-compiled: - Byte compilation reduces the overhead of loading Emacs Lisp code at runtime. - Native compilation improves performance by generating machine code that runs directly on the hardware, leveraging the full capabilities of the host CPU. The actual speedup varies with the characteristics of the Lisp code, but it is typically 2.5 to 5 times faster than the equivalent byte-compiled version. For users looking to ensure a fully optimized environment, the compile-angel package is a valuable addition to the native compilation workflow. Integrating … Continue reading →
