Fixes #3054
Depending on the run, these changes improve the speed of
npm ls
by anywhere from 5% to 30% depending on the run, though it seems to average around 10%. It's not as much as I would like, but it's something.I can get much better performance if I modify
nvm_list_aliases
to only have onewait
call and nosort
. It may be worth adding an option--unsorted
which does exactly this, but I'm not familiar enough with argument parsing in sh to implement this myself.
