It was identical in Powerlevel10k and Powerlevel9k. Even though Powerlevel10k can dynamically
switch to async prompts, it wasn't happening during the benchmark because latencies were low.
Prompts with both themes were essentially synchronous, with every prompt having up-to-date git info
(no greyed-out vcs/git segments).
Configuration that was used:
```zsh
POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(dir_writable dir vcs)
POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(status time)
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE=nerdfont-complete
POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_ON_NEWLINE=true
POWERLEVEL9K_ROOT_ICON=$'\uF09C'
POWERLEVEL9K_TIME_ICON=$'\uF017'
POWERLEVEL9K_TIME_BACKGROUND=magenta
POWERLEVEL9K_STATUS_OK_BACKGROUND=grey53
```
Powerlevel10k shows similar performance advantage over Powerlevel9k on Mac OS, FreeBSD, WSL, and
Raspberry Pie.

### Are there configuration options that make Powerlevel10k slow?
No, Powerlevel10k is always fast, with any configuration you throw at it. If you have noticeable
prompt latency when using Powerlevel10k, please
[open an issue](https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/issues).
### Does Powerlevel10k always render exactly the same prompt as Powerlevel9k given the same config?
This is the goal. You should be able to switch between Powerlevel9k and Powerlevel10k with no
visible changes except for performance. There are, however, several differences.
