How did you install nvm?

install script in readme

What steps did you perform?

1. use this script in thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5015179/4691964
2. use gdate(from coreutils) instead of date to make %N work
3. analyze the log

What happened?

Found the nvm_resolve_local_alias default have bad performance.

It took 2 seconds in my M3 chip macbookPro:

Why it need 2 seconds to get default version? seems it's just a simple task.

What did you expect to happen?

nvm_resolve_local_alias default should be quick, and save 2 seconds for my bash startup.

Is there anything in any of your profile files that modifies the PATH?

~/.bashrc
