I've been using emacs as my main editor for years now and don't find the startup speed to be an issue - to the point I've never bothered with emacsclient:

It starts up with ~77 packages in half a second.

This is my config.

That’s pretty close to what I’ve been running on the GC tuning but I like parts of your spelling better.

This is going MIT as part of a bigger project in about a month (think Lucid s/C++/modern models/).

If I inline attribution you mind if I borrow this or that?
