Public bug reported: Binary package hint: bash-completion
I have been noticing that bash has unusually slow start-up times. After looking into the problem, I found out this is mostly caused by the execution of /etc/bash_completion (calls to this exist in several places). Of course, removing them speeds up the start but leaves a less functional shell. As a work-around I would like to suggest starting up /etc/bash_completion in the background. In this way, bash will start quickly, have access only to basic built-in completions for the first 2 seconds until /etc/bash_completion finishes executing.
