fned with z-sy-h is slow.

fned without z-sy-h is fast.

vared with z-sy-h is slow.

I tested this with
.
    autoload +X vcs_info
    autoload zed
    zed -f vcs_info
.
compared to
.
    autoload +X vcs_info
    s=$(which vcs_info); vared s
.
.

Also slow.  Tested with:

    # Copy the function's definition to the clipboard, then paste it back
    autoload +X vcs_info
    which vcs_info | xsel
    <shift+insert>

I also tested it as a single line, and that was still slow:

    autoload +X vcs_info
    which vcs_info | perl -pe 's/\n/;/' | xsel
    <shift+insert>

Thanks for the help!
