Do you think it would help you to disable messages during activating these modes:

  (let (inhibit-message message-log-max)
    (size-indication-mode)
    (column-number-mode)
    (show-paren-mode)
    (recentf-mode)
    (which-function-mode)
    (global-hl-line-mode)
    (context-menu-mode)
    (global-so-long-mode)
    (repeat-mode))

Strange, I see a lot of such stuff in the *Messages* buffer:

  Cleaning up the recentf list...
  File ~/src/emacs/.git/MERGE_MSG removed from the recentf list
  Cleaning up the recentf list...done (1 removed)
  Repeat mode is enabled for 23 commands and 9 keymaps; see ‘describe-repeat-maps’
  Starting new Ispell process /usr/bin/hunspell with american dictionary...done
  Wrote ~/.emacs.d/.emacs.desktop.lock
  Desktop: 1 frame, 24 buffers restored.
