 _This table used to have another column for Linux kernel git repo, which is massive. It's
 been removed because it's not a fair comparison. Powerlevel10k automatically detects that
 fetching git status is slow and switches to async prompt generation, which allows it to
 achieve 2 ms prompt latency but not all its prompt have up-to-date git info. Those that don't,
 have vcs segment greyed out._

 The fastests results are probably limited by the key repeat rate.
 
+Here's Raspberry Pie 3. I replaced [nerd-fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) repo with
+[git](https://github.com/git/git) in this benchmark becase the former didn't fit on my SD card.
+Git repo had 3.6k files, so about the same size. I set `POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_MAX_SYNC_LATENCY_SECONDS=1`
+to prevent Powerlevel10k from switching to async prompts. The default threshold is 0.05, or 50 ms,
+after which Powerlevel10k will go async (git latency in ~/git was close to 100 ms, so above the
+default 50 ms). Naturally, async is a good thing, so you shouldn't disable it in your configs. I
+only did it to measure sync latency.

+The `next` branch of Powerlevel9k didn't work on Raspberry Pie, so I couldn't benchmark it.

 ## What's the catch?
 
 Really, there is no catch. It's literally the same prompt with the same flexibility
