;;; init.el --- Amin Bandali's Emacs config -*- lexical-binding: t ; eval: (view-mode 1)-*-
#+end_src

Enable =view-mode=, which both makes the file read-only (as a reminder
that =init.el= is an auto-generated file, not supposed to be edited),
and provides some convenient key bindings for browsing through the
file.

** Startup time

Measure and display startup time. Also, temporarily increase
~gc-cons-threshhold~ during startup to reduce reduce garbage
collection frequency. Taken from [[https://github.com/dieggsy/dotfiles/tree/3d95bc08033920e077855caf545a975eba52d28d/emacs.d#startup-time][here]].
