I installed 28.1 from source, and when I load emacs in daemon mode, it native-compiles everything under /emacs-28.1/lisp/. Is this normal behaviour? Shouldn't this only need to happen once?

The only config i have set is to move the eln-cache into my non-standard /.emacs.d/ location, with (setq native-compile-target-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "eln-cache")).

    It *should* only happen once, yes. Does your problem happen if you *don't* move the eln-cache to a "non-standard location"? It might not be related at all; but at the same time, your question reads a little bit like "I'm bleeding and all I've done is stab myself", so maybe test that and report back? – phils May 20 '22 at 12:37
  • @phils thx for the prod, and also for the should, helpful to know. looks like it is due to my config. – user27075 May 20 '22 at 13:05

So my stabbing myself to bleed config is the culprit, even though it shouldn't be:

(setq native-compile-target-directory (concat user-emacs-directory "eln-cache"))

leads to native-comp comping and comping till it can't comp no more, then just a little more, then starting again.
