Re: Migrate From Oh-my-zsh to Prezto
#12While this looks interesting, the main premise that oh-my-zsh is slow doesn't seem to hold up for me. I have a decently quick system, but nothing extreme and I don't notice much more lag with auto completion than I did with bash or fish. And I use auto completion excessively, and I'm not sparse with my oh-my-zsh plugins: plugins=(git golang archlinux catimg common-aliases compleat dircycle dirhistory sudo systemd url…
yea oh-my-zsh isn't that slow, most people who think it is slow either have it misconfigured or have a really, really slow system

I would love to know what I've got misconfigured.

I tested opening a new iTerm 2 tab on my late-2009 MBP and it takes 3.5-4s for the prompt to appear with oh-my-zsh enabled. I would love to know what I've got misconfigured.

I just checked my `oh-my-zsh/plugins` directory, and there are 173 plugins, most of which I don't need.
Should I purge them?
Edit: browsing through the (oh-my-)zsh files, I can see that it only loads the plugins found in the `plugin` environment variable, so I guess the answer is no. The only plugin enabled is `git`.
My theme is also very basic (git and mercurial status).
Any advice to improve performance?

#20Why not just contribute the optimisations back to ohmyzsh? This was made to be a drop in replacement anyway.
