I see this effect, thank you.

To avoid the quadratic scaling in my use case of "fileconversion" I
think fileconversion should be improved to insert the leading stars
_before_ Org mode has finished turning on. In the past org-mode-hook
was simply used but it seems to have become the wrong choice for my
purpose.

First, I have an understanding question:

I tried to find where org-mode-hook is called within the function
org-mode but could not see something similar to the expected
"(run-hooks 'org-mode-hook)". So I added 'backtrace to the
org-mode-hook but don't understand it either:

    (backtrace)
      backtrace()
      run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook text-mode-hook
outline-mode-hook org-mode-hook)
      apply(run-hooks (change-major-mode-after-body-hook
text-mode-hook outline-mode-hook org-mode-hook))
      run-mode-hooks(org-mode-hook)
      org-mode()
      [...]

I see the expected "run-mode-hooks(org-mode-hook)" in this backtrace
but where is the corresponding form in the function org-mode?

Second, I guess it is not necessary to implement something like
org-mode-early-hook but I could not find yet an existing hook. Which
hook would you recommend for inserting the leading stars?
