I dont think it would be faster because everytime you start a new shell session, the shell have to read through the startup script file (perhaps alias file as well) again |
Hm? It would do this anyway ...?
Using an alias won't spawn an instance of sh, using a script does ...
But what I mainly meant was that it's faster/easier to set up and maintain, especially if you have lots of little shortcuts like this ... This is how I prefer to do things.
