As you know, I am a big fan of consistency.  In this light, I do not like 
it when I am shown something at times, and at other times not.

Besides, I agree with Junio that even a single second spent to calculate 
PS1 is too much.  I use my command line extensively (some claim I live in 
it).  An slow PS1 would drive me to madness.

Ciao,
