Disclaimer: I am not a shell programmer. "read" reads from stdin (or a file descriptor) and it's probably a blocking operation. The delay may come from the command that provides the input. It should appear on the previous line of the -x output. I shortened the start-up delay of my bash by removing most of /etc/bash_completion.d/ (I don't need tab-completion for FreeCiv :) -- Life is complex, with real and imaginary parts. "Ok, it boots.
