I just installed zsh and am very impressed by its configurability and speed.
In a number of different places I've seeen references to zsh being bloated,
one person on slashdot claimed it to be more bloated than bash. Even on the
online documentation there are a few references to it not being "small".
I'm running FreeBSD, which comes by default with sh and tcsh. Here I compare
it to those two, and some others:
% du /bin/sh /bin/tcsh /usr/local/bin/bash /usr/local/bin/ksh /usr/local/bin/zsh
440 /bin/sh
592 /bin/tcsh
736 /usr/local/bin/bash
328 /usr/local/bin/ksh
352 /usr/local/bin/zsh
Zsh shows itself to be smaller than all the others, with the exception of
ksh, and vastly smaller than bash. Unless I am missing something, zsh
seems quite the opposite of bloat. With all its awesome features, how can
it be done?
Please cc me in your reply, for I am not subscribed.
