Subject: Huge delay for completions when not sorting
Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2018 17:56:28 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <slrnpji5if.45o.martin@clover.invalid> (raw)
I would have expected that the line
zstyle ':completion:*' sort false
speeds things up if there is a huge number of completions.
However, quite the opposite is true.
If the above zstyle is in effect, the completion for the
artificial command "2" defined by the completion file
#compdef 2
local expl
_description a expl a
compadd "$expl[@]" - {1..40000}
takes ages. Inserting e.g. "touch" commands, it can be verified
that the delay happens _after_ the return of the completion function,
i.e. it is _not_ the compadd itself which is slow.
Moreover, without the _description line there is no delay.
If the 40000 is replaced by 10000, the delay "almost" vanishes
on my machine. Maybe the "critical" number is different on
other systems.
