> I switched back to main after noticing that the plugin branch adds about 1s to startup time

Very curious what’s happening there. With empty helix.scm/init.scm, there is essentially zero measurable impact on startup for me.

Bytecode caching isn’t yet enabled (it is in progress), so I can see that kind of delay if I’m giving it tens of thousands of lines of code to evaluate on startup, but it took a lot of effort to get there.
