    I think what slows Emacs distributions down the most is custom Elisp code. Do those parts benefit from native compilation at all?

      I haven’t looked but I don’t think there’s that much custom code in Doom Emacs for example… it’s mostly something that sets sane defaults and glue over disjointed points… most of my slowdowns have come from different kinds of parsers etc and native-comp compiles all the packages which speeds up load / execution times.
