### Improving Performance
The by far slowest part of the `pfetch` execution time is counting the installed
packages. For most package managers this is still very fast, but there are some
(currently `nix` and `zypper`) that take ~500ms to report installed packages,
which takes away all performance benefits of the Rust version. If you have one
or more of these installed, you can skip counting them by setting the
`PF_FAST_PKG_COUNT` environment variable.
