Powerline Status ZSH vs Powerlevel10k

by romka 5 years ago

GNU/Linux ◆ xterm-256color ◆ zsh 6985 views

Powerline Status ZSH and Powerlevel10k are two similar ZSH themes. This screencast starts with Powerline and then switches to Powerlevel10k to compare performance.

Powerline Status ZSH config:

{
  "default_module": "powerline.segments.common",
  "segments": {
    "right": [],
    "left": [
      { "function": "powerline.segments.common.env.user" },
      { "function": "powerline.segments.shell.cwd" },
      { "function": "powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus" }
    ]
  }
}

Powerlevel10k config:

POWERLEVEL9K_LEFT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=(user dir vcs)
POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS=()
typeset POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_{STAGED,UNSTAGED,UNTRACKED}_MAX_NUM=99

Current directory: chromium.
Machine: Intel i9-7900X running Ubuntu 18.04.

Prompt latency measured with zsh-prompt-benchmark:

Powerline Status ZSH: 385 ms.
Powerlevel10k: 47 ms (8 times faster).
