Let's not give Phoronix any ideas. While I am convinced that ‘significantly faster’ is an objective fact, I agree that such claims smell so subjective that they don't belong in Guix. I just copied that bit from upstream, to be honest. Dropped.

Indeed; thanks for adding that. dash is horrible for interactive use, but fast at running shell[1] scripts. If anyone thinks that might be relevant in the description, let me know. Otherwise, I'll push it soon with the suggested changes. Kind regards, T G-R [1]: It's also a trivial way to catch 98% of bash-specific code.
