### Is Powerlevel10k fast to load?
The amount of time it takes for Powerlevel10k to render the first prompt is higher than for the
subsequent prompts but it's still fairly fast.
Yes, provided that you are using ZSH >= 5.4.
Time to first prompt can be measured with the following benchmark:
Loading time, or time to first prompt, can be measured with the following benchmark:
```zsh
time (repeat 100 zsh -dfis <<< 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme')
time (repeat 1000 zsh -dfis <<< 'source ~/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme')
```
On the same machine as in the [prompt benchmark](#is-it-really-fast) this results in 36.9 ms per
invocation when executed in a small git repository (I used the `powerlevel10k` repo itself). For
comparison, the same benchmark gives 171 ms for powerlevel9k/master and 505 ms for
powerlevel9k/next.
*Note: Powerlevel10k is significantly faster to load with zsh version 5.4 and above.*
Running this command with `~/powerlevel10k` as the current directory on the same machine as in the
[prompt benchmark](#is-it-really-fast) takes 29 seconds (29 ms per invocation). This is about 6
times faster than powerlevel9k/master and 17 times faster than powerlevel9k/next.
### Does Powerlevel10k always render exactly the same prompt as Powerlevel9k given the same config?
