Per-keypress prompt render latency (precmd / PROMPT_COMMAND). FancyBash uses async RAM-cache workers — zero subshell forks on every keystroke.

⚡ FancyBash replaces $(basename "$PWD") → ${PWD:t}, $(whoami) → $USER, and all tool version calls (npm -v = 115 ms!) with RAM tmpfs cache reads populated once per session by async background workers. Saves ~122 ms per prompt.

RSS memory after interactive shell fully loads. Via /usr/bin/time -v shell -i -c exit 2>&1 | grep 'Maximum resident'.

💾 FancyBash uses zero mandatory plugin dependencies. Oh My Zsh with git + nvm + docker + python + npm plugins active exceeds 100 MB RSS. PowerShell's ~78 MB is the .NET 8 CLR — unavoidable, but FancyBash's config.ps1 adds only ~30 ms on top.
