I don't know if Windows can be helped. It may be antivirus but I feel like 50th percentile load time is at least a second and there's nothing to be done about it. git just hangs sometimes on git show/git diff. I have to kill the terminal.

Windows' filesystem performance for tools that expect Unix is abysmal, and it gets drastically worse in most corporate environments because endpoint security software hooks into the filesystem drivers to instrument all file access.
Git-aware prompts can't be recommended on Windows, imo.
