Hi, Irritated by long bash loading on Ubuntu I've made a patch that is using bash dynamic completion loading capabilities to speed things up.
My results are: dpc@mutex:~$ time . /etc/bash_completion.orig real 0m0.614s user 0m0.360s sys 0m0.120s dpc@mutex:~$ time . /etc/bash_completion.new real 0m0.168s user 0m0.120s sys 0m0.010s without loosing any functionality (it seems). I've posted my solution on bug created for Ubuntu, but it just reach my brain, that there are better places to show it. Repository is here: https://github.com/dpc/bash_completion a post I've made about it on my blog: http://ucore.info/2011/03/faster-bash-completion-loading/ It seems to me that waiting half a second for a shell every time is a problem and should get fixed. My patch could be updated to latest version, cleaned and reviewed by someone more knowledgeable, but after all I think it's quite good solution. The question is -- is there anyone interested in merging it with mainline?
