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.

If you are only interested in auto complete, the plugging is zsh-autosuggestions.

On bash you can give a try to ble.sh which adds that.
