Yeah.  If you look in the standard fish_prompt function, it does some of that -
cacheing calculated outputs that can be expected not to change for the duration
of a single shell.  My prompt isn't as bad as yours, but there's a noticeable
lag in Cygwin that's not there in Linux.

Profiling would be a good idea, but I don't know how you do that with a fish
script.  I suggest asking on the fish-users list.

Good luck,
Andrew
