I believe the slowdown is due to the clink prompt running external programs in order to find git status etc. I run clink without ConEmu (cmdr is a pack of both with some config) and recently redid the prompt to make it less functional but MUCH faster. I basically changed the config.lua file to use clink.get_cwd() instead of pwd(), and to local HEADfile = io.open(git_dir.."/HEAD") if not HEADfile then return false end local git_branch = HEADfile:read():match('ref: refs/heads/(.*)') HEADfile:close() return colors.git_dirty .. " (" .. git_branch .. ")" to find the current git branch if any. Less functional and more potential for errors (detached heads or such) but for my case it's very worth it.
