=================

now i remember why i'm running under cron, instead of in precmd... 
http://smasher.org/tmp/zsh-bsd-sysctl-slow.png

freebsd's sysctl is way too slow to invoke every time i draw a prompt. 
linux's /sys/ and /proc/ are reasonably fast, but i already had a cron job 
written for bsd, and very minor changes were needed to make it work with 
linux.

i guess i'll leave it alone for now, but if i find a way to get that 
battery info from freebsd more quickly i'll think about adding the battery 
functionality directly into the zshrc.
