Here's the same benchmark for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with zsh running in the standard
Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`).
| Theme | / | ~/nerd-fonts |
|---------------------|----------:|-------------:|
| powerlevel9k/master | 313 ms | 693 ms |
| powerlevel9k/next | 119 ms | 442 ms |
| **powerlevel10k** | **16 ms** | **19 ms** |
| naked zsh | 16 ms | 16 ms |
The fastests results are probably limited by the key repeat rate.
Here's Raspberry Pie 3. I replaced [nerd-fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) repo with
[git](https://github.com/git/git) in this benchmark becase the former didn't fit on my SD card.
Git repo had 3.6k files, so about the same size. I set `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_SYNC_LATENCY_SECONDS=1`
to prevent Powerlevel10k from switching to async prompts. The default threshold is 0.05, or 50 ms,
after which Powerlevel10k will go async (git latency in ~/git was close to 100 ms, so above the
default 50 ms). Naturally, async is a good thing, so you shouldn't disable it in your configs. I
only did it to measure sync latency.
| Theme | / | ~/git |
|---------------------|----------:|-----------:|
| powerlevel9k/master | 312 ms | 584 ms |
| **powerlevel10k** | **15 ms** | **108 ms** |
| naked zsh | 1 ms | 1 ms |
The `next` branch of Powerlevel9k didn't work on Raspberry Pie, so I couldn't benchmark it.
Powerlevel10k shows similar performance on Mac OS, FreeBSD, WSL, and Raspberry Pie.
## What's the catch?
