This newest version of the Z-shell is very slow.... How slow? I
can see each character as the cursor draws the PROMPT and as it
redraws old history lines (up arrow).
Is anyone else noticing this on their OS?
Thanks

I'm not, on Linux, but I've only been using pre6 since a few minutes ago.
Did you compile with debugging and zsh_mem and so forth? To what previous
version are you comparing it (so we know what changes to re-examine)?
The only recent change that would have any conceivable effect on this is
that all references to the variable `columns' in display update code have
been replaced by the ternary expression `(columns < 1 ? 80 : columns)'.
But your compiler would have to be doing something really awful for that
to have any noticable effect.

No, just regular ./configure

2.6-beta13 is what I've been using, but I've got 3.0-pre2 here too and that did not display this beahvior.
Would you need/like to see the compiling output?
Thanks for the help, I love zsh but it really is too slow to be usable...

I tried building under NEXTSTEP 3.3. './configure' generates two core
dumps; apparently the linker chokes trying to link POSIX stuff without
'-posix', since building the test program which does
tgetent((char*)0,"vt100") coredumps using either NeXT's cc or a gcc-2.7.2 I
built.
Pressing on, I built zsh, but I didn't notice any obvious slowdowns.

These coredumps are normal. Configure tries call tgetent with a NULL
pointer which dumps core hence configure does not define the
TGETENT_ACCEPTS_NULL macro.
