Performance issue when opening bash shell

[ghost]

I am using Debian 9 and latest NVM with Node 13.9 installed in it.

Always when I open terminal or execute "bash" command in existing terminal it hangs for 1-2 seconds.

Uninstalling NVM removed all of the delay. I tried also having only NVM without any Node installed which was noticeably faster than with Node.

Its minor problem but can be really annoying at some situations.

If you run nvm unalias default, the issue will go away as well; you can also source nvm.sh in your profile with --no-use.

The slowness is caused by npm config get prefix, which nvm use runs.

I can't use the short "node" keyword in terminal after those though.

[ljharb]

indeed, that's true.

There's nothing to be done to speed up nvm here until npm config get prefix is made faster, I'm afraid.

Alright.

I opened issue in npm repo just incase there is some people who would care about it

npm/cli#1260

No need, one already exists: npm/cli#1243
