(The optimizations in *minimal-emacs.d* significantly contribute to speeding up Emacs startup. Additional factors include deferring package loading when not necessary on startup by using `:defer t` with `use-package`, and using [compile-angel](https://github.com/jamescherti/compile-angel.el) to ensure all `.el` files are byte-compiled and native-compiled. The author also regularly uses `M-x list-timers` and `M-x describe-mode` for each file type to ensure only essential modes and timers are active, which helps optimize Emacs' performance) (The optimizations in *minimal-emacs.d* significantly contribute to speeding up Emacs startup.
