[TxMt] Re: `mate <file>` from Terminal is occasionally very slow to open <file> in TextMate

[Daniel Vollmer]

Hello,

I haven’t really managed to diagnose this further, but occasionally I get the feeling that this might be due to how `fish` shell triggers execution of binaries (but again, I’ve only observed this in conjunction with `mate` — but that’s probably my most-used command-line utility that connects to the WindowServer by a large margin).

	Daniel.
