Since GC cons threshold is raised to + \~1G (gcmh-high-cons-threshold) while Emacs is used - you will + face a really bad hang (seconds to tens of seconds regularly). + Ends up not helping much, recommend increasing + gc-cons-percentage=0.2 or so instead. +- Q: + - A: +- Q: Is there some way to free up memory (such as via + \`unload-feature\`) in Emacs?
