  Might be an OS X thing. At work on Debian zsh starts up instantly, at home on OS X it takes a good couple of seconds.

    It's an oh-my-zsh thing, mostly. Turns out that running a lot of scripts on startup makes startup take a while.

      I don't run omz or many scripts for my zsh configuration.

      Thing is in fish functions and completions load lazily as needed, and basically every customization is done with functions. Startup is pretty much instant regardless of configuration.

  I think `-c` skips loading configuration. Launching a prompt will be much slower. In fish almost everything is a function and functions are loaded lazily.
