Hi All,
My zsh has become very slow after upgrading to Mac Big Sur OS.
It was nvm that was causing the issue. So I researched and found that nvm
can be lazy loaded with the `--no-use` option.
However, even after using --no-use, it was still slow. The reason is a
simple echo command to /dev/stdin. It is taking >5 seconds. Below are the
lines that are causing the issue
```
[ "_$( . /dev/stdin yes 2> /dev/null <<'EOF'
[ $# -gt 0 ] && nvm_echo $1
EOF
)" = "_yes" ]
```
We noticed that even a very basic echo to /dev/stdin is taking more than 5
seconds. For example
```
time ((echo abc) | (. /dev/stdin))
/dev/stdin:1: command not found: abc
( ( echo abc; ) | ( . /dev/stdin; ); ) 0.00s user 0.00s system 0% cpu
5.087 total
```
This happens only with shell built-in echo and doesn't happen with
/bin/echo.
We tried many options and a more detailed discussion can be found in the
below github issue
https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm/issues/2387
Looking forward to your help. You can directly reply in the github thread.
It will help others as well.
Thanks,
Anand

Has anyone tried using "dtruss" on the process to see which system
calls may be blocking?

What's the problem zsh has with heredocs?

Hi Bart,
I tried with dtruss; but it was giving error for built-ins
dtrace: failed to execute echo: (os/kern) failure
There might be other ways, but I am no expert in shell and dtruss.
Please let me know if I can do anything else.
Regarding the discussion in nvm github, can you please post your query over
there?
Like I mentioned above, I am no expert and your inputs there will help the
others in the discussion as well
Thanks,
Anand

You probably have to use
sudo dtruss zsh -fc '(echo echo foo) | ( . /dev/stdin)'
or something to that effect.

I don't have a github account and I don't use NVM, so ... I
respectfully decline.
