I haven't timed it, but I find it a little slower on a P-II 300 running
Linux than on an Ultra-1 167 running Solaris 2.5.1. It's kind of hard to be
certain, though:

2@rushlight:1004 B$ ls -l .bashrc; wc -l .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 allbery users 17361 Sep 19 22:01 .bashrc
726 .bashrc

(Subtract about 100 lines of comments. And that ignores the Perl script
that gets run as part of it. And no, you probably don't want to know what
it's doing; suffice it to say that it's not just defining functions and/or
aliases. :-)

ash is xBSD's Bourne shell clone. It's specifically written to be small and
fast.
