Hi Bryce, I should start by saying the execution time of bash-completion depends a lot of the amount of software installed in any particular computer. I posted the this bug based on my experience with a laptop which I no longer have. While the machine was older its specs weren't very bad -- AMD Turion X2 1.8GHz dual core, 2 GB RAM. I just tested bash-completion on a small server with similar specifications but far less software installed. Here are the stats.
nasko@chow:~$ time bash /etc/bash_completion real 0m0.787s user 0m0.632s sys 0m0.148s nasko@chow:~$ time bash empty_script bash: exit: No such file or directory real 0m0.007s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.000s The difference in real execution time is almost 0.8s. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/790043 Title: Bash-completion slows up the start of bash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/790043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
