That makes total sense. In a shell environment, breaking the flow for 10+ seconds would definitely be more painful than the memory overhead. The 'instant' feel is crucial for UX here. Thanks for the detailed explanation!
Thanks, glad it resonates.
For interactive tools like shells, I think perceived latency matters more than raw resource efficiency. Once the flow breaks, UX is already lost — a few extra MBs are a small price for that instant feel.
