response is very slow

[tradaniel]

I install powerlevel9k. however, it is very slow
when I press enter key, it takes nearly 1 seconds to response.
all config is default.
my pc is MacBook Air (2014),
os version: 10.11.3 (15D21)
processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5

@tradaniel Hmm. Which version of ZSH do you have? And which Segments did you activate?

[bhilburn]

Hi @tradaniel - That is extremely slow, and certainly not what we expect.

I have the same questions as @dritter - what version of ZSH, and what is your PL9K config?

[dritter]

I have another question: Do you use a native FileSystem? Or are you using a virtual machine, or a network Filesystem (like NFS or similar)?
I encountered some of this extreme slowness when I tested some VCS features for powerlevel9k in the virtual machine and stepped into a git repo on the NFS volume. That was painfully slow. That was because of a hell lot of disk operations done by VCS_INFO.. Nothing we can change sadly.

I had some pretty extreme speed issues with the rbenv segment enabled; maybe that's the issue?

Hi @tradaniel - Any updates, here? Are you using the rbenv segment? Did you resolve your issue?

@dritter @bhilburn Unfortunately,I have the same porblem.I am using babun(http://babun.github.io/) which console is mintty1.1.3.
Here is my PL9K config:
#POWERLEVEL9K
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='Compatible'
POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(context dir vcs)
POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status time)
POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_ON_NEWLINE=true
POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_VERBOSE=false
POWERLEVEL9K_TIME_FORMAT="%D{%H:%M - %d.%m}"
export DEFAULT_USER="$USER"

However,when I disable "vcs",it becomes fast again.

@chenjuntong Your description fits better to #244 .. The hints there might help you..

I notice with babun I'm suffering from speed issues with powerlevel9k after having the same issues with agnoster. My Mac doesn't suffer the issue so I don't know if its BLODA related. I switched to sonicradish and it isn't as pretty but it works 90% faster. I assume all the git activity is maybe slowing down the view but I haven't figured out why yet.
