A question:
Would it be possible to lump all compiled functions into one .so file per package?
I have tested your branch after update2, haven't had time to test after the last update. I didn't see any speedup on load time, either with -Q flag, or when I loaded my init files and packages. I have complied all elpa packages to eln, including
my custom lisp and init file (whatever was compilable).
I guess since there is one .eln per .el file, there is lots of disk access. Same for byte code and pure lisp. Maybe the init time is dominated by file access, rather then the processing those files.
Could it maybe be possible to create one .so per package si that all functions from corresponding eln files is that .so? It could drastically reduce number of file access at load time. I don't know if it is possible.
