Uncompromising performance

When you hit ENTER, the next prompt appears instantly. With Powerlevel10k there is no prompt lag. If you install Cygwin on Raspberry Pi, cd into a Linux Git repository and activate enough prompt segments to fill four prompt lines on both sides of the screen... wait, that's just crazy and no one ever does that. Probably impossible, too. The point is, Powerlevel10k prompt is always fast, no matter what you do!

Powerlevel10k Performance

Note how the effect of every command is instantly reflected by the very next prompt.

Command Prompt Indicator Meaning
timew start hack linux 🛡️ hack linux time tracking enabled in timewarrior
touch x y ?2 2 untracked files in the Git repo
rm COPYING !1 1 unstaged change in the Git repo
echo 3.7.3 >.python-version 🐍 3.7.3 the current python version in pyenv

Other Zsh themes capable of displaying the same information either produce prompt lag or print prompt that doesn't reflect the current state of the system and then refresh it later. With Powerlevel10k you get fast prompt and up-to-date information.
