At least until Zsh version 5.7.1, no performance improvement is observed
out of using those.
In some cases, the performance is even worsened, like when using
autoload -w functions_digest.zwc
instead of
autoload func_name1 func_name2 ...
So we can have the following code in the zlogin template:
source ${ZIM_HOME}/login_init.zsh -q &!
instead of depending on the zimfw function there. This allows fixing the
issue were a non-interactive login shell currently yields:
command not found: zimfw.
To fully fix the issue, we also need a new zshenv template containing:
ZIM_HOME=${ZDOTDIR:-${HOME}}/.zim
Templates will be updated in the install script.
