One last try: I have recently set option "autocd"[1]. Now when I type
something like "adksfaj" the delay (~ 10 seconds) is the same like
with the correction mechanism ("/skjhf/aksjfdh"). It is noticeable
that unlike normal completions I cannot stop the "hanging" search (or
whatever it is) by [Ctrl]-[C].
In /this case/ I have found the "culprit": I have "/" in my CDPATH[2].
When I remove "/" it "works" normally by instantly saying "command not
found". Of course this "doesn't make sense" as there are only nine
directories in "/" and of course having "/" in cdpath is okay on my
Linux box.
Maybe this "bug" (or whatever) is just "behaving" the same way like
the "correction bug" but my hope is that it may "ring some bell" on
your side (or any zsh user's)...

I will try it when it's bash-unbroken ;-)
