My experience id aldo the zsh is slow compared to bash. I am using the defaults from Apple on an M1 with some minor modifcations.

  On raw defaults, I find it hard to see that you can do anything with either bash or zsh where the shell itself does anything where you can even notice a delay. Things like basic file completion or history searching are basically instant. For scripting there are plenty of benchmarks out there and zsh typically beats bash but both are beaten my minimal shells like dash.
