What theme?

I was using the Star theme.

[nwykes]

it seems pretty responsive to me. But this might be causing an issue on Windows?

{
          "type": "command",
          "style": "plain",
          "foreground": "#C49EE9",
          "properties": {
            "shell": "bash",
            "command": "find . -name package.json -depth 1 -exec echo \" <#ffffff>via node</>\" \\;"
          }
        },

Do you have issues with other themes?

The command segment seemed like a good idea but I'm starting to resent it. I'm going to look for a different solution. I haven't noticed latency, but I'm mostly on zsh which might explain that. The only segment that has a noticeable impact is spotify. And as @nwykes states, in theory command is the only one that can have an impact this negative.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

For star specifically I will replace the command with the default node segment functionality as that one makes no sense anymore. I think command is neat when you know what you're dealing with, but the out-of-the-box themes shouldn't be using this.

@aykxt can you check to see if the latest version offers a different experience?

Seems like it is a little bit faster now. But there is still some delay when I'm in a git repository.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

I'll see if we can speed up things a bit in that regard.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@aykxt looking forward to seeing if the latest update makes a difference. If not, can you check if you're on the latest git version?

Just tried it, it's much faster now!

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@aykxt do we close this one for now? I'm not sure there's much I can do to make it even faster, the layout should also keep it that way even when extending to offer support for revert/bisect.
