Bash autocomplete seems slow/freezes at times. The cursor stops blinking for 1-2 seconds and then the autocomplete prints. It happens for some directories. For eg I have a projects directory

cd ~/proj does not cause slowdown or freeze cd ~/ does cause things to freeze or slow down for a moment. I installed zsh and don't seem to face the same issue.

This is my $PATH

/home/benjamin/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/snap/bin

When I run bash in debug mode I get the following output:
