Working with a M1 Macbook Air, macos 12.4.

Anytime I open a new terminal window or just a new tab, it takes a really long time till I can type.

long zsh.gif

I have commented out my entire ~/.zshrc and when run

for i in $(seq 1 10); do /usr/bin/time $SHELL -i -c exit; done

directly in an open terminal window it says it finished in 0.1s. So it must be something macos is doing before zsh is even starting.

PS: In the activity monitor I can only see a spike in kernel_task cpu usage when opening a new terminal

Turns out homebrew seems to have spammed hundreds of lines eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)" into my ~/.zprofile which I didn't even know existed.
