powerlevel9k/master is the stable branch of powerlevel9k, the one that virtually everyone uses.
powerlevel9k/next is the development branch for the next release.
_powerlevel9k/master_ is the stable branch of Powerlevel9k, the one that virtually everyone uses.
_powerlevel9k/next_ is the development branch for the next release. Powerlevel10k is over 100
times faster than either in this benchmark.
In fairness, Powerlevel9k has acceptable latency when given a spartan configuration. If all you need
is the current directory without truncation or shortening, Powerlevel9k can render it for you in
17 ms. Powerlevel10k can do the same 30 times faster but it won't matter in practice because 17 ms
is fast enough (the threshold where latency becomes noticeable is around 50 ms). You have to be
careful with Powerlevel9k configuration as it's all too easy to make prompt frustratingly slow.
Powerlevel10k, on the other hand, doesn't require trading latency for utility -- it's virtually
instant with any configuration.
