Significant slowdown when this plugin is active; node starts 2-seconds slower
With this plugin installed, directories that contain an .nvmrc
file cause node to become very slow to start. Directories with a .node-version
file are not affected.
$ echo "16.1.0" > .node-version
$ time node -v
v16.1.0
real 0m0.105s
user 0m0.038s
sys 0m0.042s
$ mv .node-version .nvmrc
$ time node -v
v16.1.0
real 0m2.109s
user 0m1.120s
sys 0m1.455s
So it seems that this plugin is making node 2 seconds slower to start.
I am using nodenv and nodev-nvmrc installed via homebrew on macOS 11.3.1 (x86_64).
$ nodenv --version
nodenv 1.4.0
$ brew info nodenv-nvmrc

From my investigation, the culprit is node package sh-semver
which takes ~800ms on my machine
