It seems to never time out. I suspect a bug. This occurs from time to
time. After zsh has frozen, I can do the same completion from another
zsh instance on the same machine, and the completion is immediate.

I have:

zstyle ':completion:*:complete:-command-:*' tag-order 'commands builtins functions aliases suffix-aliases reserved-words jobs parameters' '*'

and the complete help says:

tags in context :completion::complete:-command-::
    commands executables builtins functions aliases suffix-aliases reserved-words jobs parameters  (_alternative _command_names _autocd (eval)) 
    commands                                                                                       (_path_commands _alternative _command_names _autocd (eval)) 
    jobs                                                                                           (_jobs _alternative _command_names _autocd (eval))

    named-directories                                                                              (_alternative _cd _autocd (eval)) 
    users named-directories directory-stack                                                        (_tilde _alternative _cd _autocd (eval)) 
    users                                                                                          (_users _tilde _alternative _cd _autocd (eval))

I wonder why zsh tries to complete on users.
