Since the story link is just to the project github page, here's a blog post from the person who did the performance optimization talking a little more about what he did:

Here's the exact pull request for that commit, with quite a bit of discussion about why it's faster and why it was done the "wrong" way before:

Hope that helps anyone else who was curious about exactly what was changed!

Just decided to install zsh and use this. My favorite thing so far is how the titles of my screens changes automatically based on the directory I'm in or the server I'm ssh'd into.

It really is way faster now. I had uninstalled it a few weeks back because command+T would take around a second to be all ready, but now I reinstalled it and I love it.

That should be happening in Bash too...
