Here zsh now consumes less memory that bash, and the testsuite
is really usable, that's great!  However it is still
significantly slower:

% time bash testsuite > /dev/null
bash testsuite > /dev/null  0.88s user 0.44s system 101% cpu 1.302 total
% time zsh testsuite > /dev/null
zsh testsuite > /dev/null  7.13s user 0.27s system 100% cpu 7.357 total

(this is a testsuite that exists before the first test, as I explained.)

I don't really care myself, 7s doesn't sound too much for such a
big script, but maybe you'll have another great idea... This
testsuite seems like a good benchmark for the parsing code.

Thanks!
