Hello, I noticed that having a double slash in a path that I then try to
complete, ie:
/home/paul//ab<TAB>
requires a significant more amount of time to execute than the same path
without double slashes.
I tried this with zsh -f, and it does not reproduce.
Is there a setting that comes to mind that can be responsible for this?
thanks
Pier Paolo Grassi

If you use compinit in your .zshrc, then // in a path will be treated as
/*/ when doing filename completion.
Look for "squeeze-slashes" in the zshcompsys(1) manual.
squeeze-slashes
If set to `true', sequences of slashes in filename paths
(for example in `foo//bar') will be treated as a single
slash. This is the usual behaviour of UNIX paths.
However, by default the file completion function behaves
as if there were a `*' between the slashes.
