Я считаю, что несущественый (за счёт использования autoload) прирост производительности (который так никто и не измерил) этого не стоит. Экономить на спичечном /etc/zshrc тем более глупо. 107740 4 mike 2010-03-12 17:23:24 +0300 Я мерил, но не удалось выловить фактор, который приводил к собственно тормозам. То есть на той же системе у нового юзера с пустым ~/.zshrc время запуска zsh было намного меньше. Так что предлагаю по первому s/WONTFIX/NOTABUG/, а по второму -- если возникнут аргументы в виде патча, то вернёмся к ним _отдельной_ багой ("отпилить динозавров, закомпилять за счёт сэкономленного базовое или хоть базовые *.zwc отдельным подпакетом).
