string length --visible performance #8253
Description
Some escape codes are 70-90 times slower than others on my machine.
Just thought it was interesting and worth mentioning. Obviously not critical at all.
function foo
string length --visible (string repeat --count 1000 (set_color normal)"hello")
end
function bar
string length --visible (string repeat --count 1000 (set_color blue)"hello")
endilan@arch ~> time foo
5000
