Description
i noticed that sourcing /opt/local/etc/bash_completion slows down my shell startup noticeably. just thought i'd open a ticket in case anyone else is seeing this and might have more knowledge about how/whether it's possible to speed it up.

i've noticed it's a lot slower since upgrading to snow leopard. is there anything that could explain this and be a potential source of optimization for snow leopard users?

I think I've found the culprit, and it's not bash-completion after all. According to this post, the cause is a large /var/log/asl directory. I'd be interested to hear if deleting the contents of that directory resolves the issue for anyone else.
In the meantime, I've opened #23913 for selectively enabling only the bash-completion modules you care about.
Actually the only way I could think of would be to disable specific unwanted modules. But that's not possible with the current implementation in MacPorts.
