I have just noted a huge speed up of Zsh startup and ran bisect. I do:

repeat 10 { time /usr/local/bin/zsh -i -c exit }

and before 41322, speed is 400 ms, 350 ms when everything is compiled. With this patch, it is 220/200 ms. I thought this effect will be only for sourcing not-compiled files.

Basically this means that all the frameworks like Oh-My-Zsh can grow in size a "little" more ;)

With my hasher optimization that's 205/185 ms, but 41322 is just paradigm-shift.
