If you are on Linux or WSL, consider enabling [gitstatus](https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus) plugin for massive performance improvement in vcs/prompt segment.

In some cases it can be over 10 times faster. When using Linux, +you should expect less than 50ms prompt latency in most cases, about 100ms in large git +repos and 200ms in huge repos such as Linux kernel. To get comfortable upper bound on +latency in any repo, set `GITSTATUS_DIRTY_MAX_INDEX_SIZE=4096`. It'll disable dirty file +scanning in repos with over 4k files.

It's the same prompt with the same flexibility and literally the +same configuration as Powerlevel9k but **much faster**. |
