I found both of the distributions have some entries for additional preloading in site-load.el, but some of them are not valid. For example, international/encoded-kb.el has the following code: (defun encoded-kbd-self-insert-ccl (ignore) (let ((str (char-to-string (encoded-kbd-last-key))) (ccl (car (aref (coding-system-spec (keyboard-coding-system)) 4))) (vec [nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil]) result) (while (= (length (setq result (ccl-execute-on-string ccl vec str t))) 0) (dotimes (i 9) (aset vec i nil)) (setq str (format "%s%c" str (read-char-exclusive)))) (vector (aref result 0)))) The vector [nil ...] is allocated in the pure storage if this file is preloaded, but its contents are altered in the function body and thus the read-only assumption of the pure storage is violated. So this file should not be preloaded as it is. Inappropriate preloading also affects the correctness of GC. Since the pure storage is assumed to be read-only, GC does not mark or follow the objects in this storage. So, if there's an object that is only pointed to by pure storage objects, which may happen if the assumption for the pure storage is violated, the object is reachable but never get collected.
