I had a "locale -a" for automatic locale detection and settings,
which could be very slow. I now avoid it, but zsh startup is still
a bit slow at the first command that is in a directory with more
than 2000 commands[*] (unless the data are in the disk cache).

So, I suggest anyone who sees intensive dist access to look at
such problems.
