I experimented with this a couple months back while I was doing a fresh install.
nvm will slow down zsh if you're using the nvm plugin, this is unfortunately true. . So will many other plugins if you let them run; you can bog down your shell real fast with plugins. You can also choose to still use nvm and drop zsh plugin support by modifying your .zshrc. Disabling the plugin will require you to manually set your node version upon changing directories though. So you will have to choose which convince you prefer. I still recommend using nvm though.

Let me reiterate that. When I said
TerminalI said the shell environment that gets loaded via your Terminal app.I use Zsh, so if you do as well then you can put this at the top of your
.zshrcfileand this at the very bottom of the same file.
Now when you reload your shell — Zsh will profile it's startup time.
And you'll end up on issues with hundreds of other developers talking about how slow
nvmis and all the suggested solutions are just super hacky.github.com/creationix/nvm/issues/1277

So, it's not about the OS, it's
nvm.Peace! ✌️
