After installing and using the org latex preview experimental features according to https://abode.karthinks.com/org-latex-preview/, I get severe freezing when closing Emacs, due to the `org-persist-write-all` function in the `kill-emacs-hook`. I write a lot of math, so I have a significant number of LaTeX fragments in my =~/.cache/org-persist=.
