New clean DS Nix with standard config running smoothly on MBP early 2015, no complaint.
Until I noticed a slow zsh prompt after every command - not slow loading zsh.
It takes a sec or 2s to display prompt after any simple command (eg. ls)
This zsh is enabled on the home manager instead on configuration.nix because I wanted to add starlight and I don’t know yet what to do in order to have global zsh outcome eval starship.
Testing command time zsh -i -l -c ':' still reasonable (?) .52 real 1.66 user 0.66 sys
There is also some activities info on the terminal’s title bar eg. type -p bash64, bash64, tr type, fzf and others so I went on removing packages on the configuration.nix however it don’t seem to matter.
Some info on system:
- system:
"x86_64-darwin" - host os:
Darwin 24.1.0, macOS 10.16 - multi-user?:
yes - sandbox:
no - version:
nix-env (Nix) 2.24.10 - channels(root):
"" - nixpkgs:
/nix/store/rxn26bq4xm2p0x4whkp94afhy1g88cm7-source
It’s a clean early 2015, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, I did patch it though using OpenCore Legacy to install Sequoia which I don’t think have got anything to do with the issue but worth mentioning.
