i'm forced to use windows as a host to my dev environment at work and i have yet to find a fast enough console/shell. even when you remove plugins and whatever else babun provides to the standard zsh setup it's still not fast enough to do simple things such as cd with some tab-completion a couple of times a second as i'd normally do at home. the closest thing to somewhat useful i've found is "git for windows" but it too sometimes get stuck sometimes just changing directories and tab-completing. i'm using a reasonably new i5 thinkpad and i don't think close to instant feedback in a text-only environment is too much to ask.
