Re: Slower zsh prompt in weird circumstances

I think I found the problem - large enough history file.

Turns out, after every executed command zle goes through full history
erasing line edits. Most of the time this is not necessary.

I made a hacky patch that at least skips the erasing if no edits were
made.
