# Minimal ~/.emacs.d
This repository hosts a minimal Emacs configuration with `early-init.el` and `init.el` files. It is designed to serve as a base for your vanilla Emacs configuration.
These files are designed to optimize startup time, configure essential settings, and manage package installations efficiently.

## Features
1. **Performance Improvements:**
- Prefers loading newer compiled files.
- Increases the amount read from processes in a single chunk.
- Customizes `file-name-handler-alist` for improved startup time and package load time.
- Reduces rendering workload by not rendering cursors or regions in non-focused windows.
- Disables warnings from the legacy advice API and suppresses warnings about aliased variables.
- Avoids unnecessary network checks and excessive UI updates.
- Avoids unnecessary excessive UI updates.
- Disables font compacting to avoid high memory usage.
- Customizes `file-name-handler-alist` for improved startup time and package load time.
- Prefers loading newer compiled files.
- Reduces startup screen and message noise, including removing the "For information about GNU Emacs..." message.
- Configures Emacs to start with a scratch buffer in `fundamental-mode` to shave seconds off startup time.
- Delays garbage collection during startup to improve performance and resets it to a more reasonable value once Emacs has started.
