Re: zsh login going remarkably slow

["Eric Mangold" <teratorn@world-net.net>]

Could it be that it's rebuilding ~/.zcompdump every time? After a system  
upgrade I started having that problem: .zcompdump was re-generated even if  
it existed. I didn't figure out the root cause but just started using the  
-C switch to compinit. This made it fast again.
