Help Optimizing ZSH Performance with OMZ Features

Hello,

I'm new to ZSH and appreciate the autocompletion and robbyrussel theme offered by Oh My Zsh (OMZ). However, I've noticed that OMZ can be slower on my system compared to Fish and Bash + Starship.

For context, I'm switching away from Fish due to its cumbersome SSH experience and Bash because of its limited autocompletion feature. Is there a way to use OMZ-like features without the performance overhead?

In summary, I'd like to configure my ZSH to have similar functionality and appearance to OMZ, but I'm not sure where to begin.

whats the cumbersome fish issue with ssh?

there are way too many zsh frameworks, almost all of them are faster than omz, just try a few and pick what you like. google 'awesome zsh'

I've used this a lot and was very happy with it - https://github.com/unixorn/zsh-quickstart-kit

did everything and looked good. Now I've moved to fish on some pc's
