I installed 28.1 from source, and when I load emacs in daemon mode, it native-compiles everything under /emacs-28.1/lisp/. Is this normal behaviour? Shouldn't this only need to happen once?

The only config i have set is to move the eln-cache into my non-standard /.emacs.d/ location, with (setq native-compile-target-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "eln-cache")).

    It should only happen once, yes. Does your problem happen if you don't move the eln-cache to a "non-standard location"? It might not be related at all; but at the same time, your question reads a little bit like "I'm bleeding and all I've done is stab myself", so maybe test that and report back?

So my stabbing myself to bleed config is the culprit, even though it shouldn't be:

(setq native-compile-target-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "eln-cache"))

leads to native-comp comping and comping till it can't comp no more, then just a little more, then starting again.

  • Maybe that's a configuration item for early-init.el? Just a wild guess: I haven't tried it out.
