After the patch in 5.8.1-r1, a startup of zsh takes much more than one minute reading .zshenv and .zshrc from a slow filesystem (9p) inside of a virtual machine. Reading the files with less or cat is reasonable fast (around 0.01 seconds). Debuging with strace shows that it is taking all the time with reading the file(s) char by char. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install zsh-5.8.1-r1 2. Run it on slower filesystem Actual Results: Slow start as hell Expected Results: Normal, fast start

I don't understand. The patch is a gentoo only patch. Upstream works pretty well.
The patch was applied from upstream zsh, it just hasn't been in a release version yet. I sent a bug report to their mailing list here: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2022/msg00420.html
