In this video, we'll learn how to use the features of 'use-package' to cause our Emacs packages to be loaded later so that Emacs starts up much faster than before! We will also learn how to tweak the settings of Emacs' garbage collector so that it enables Emacs to do less work while loading up all of your packages. By the end, we cut startup time of the Emacs From Scratch configuration in half!

If you watched the System Crafters Live stream on Feb 2, you've probably already seen this content! I'm reposting just this section of the stream so that it's easier for others to find.
