DESCRIPTION
    I wrote this program because using fortune(1) and Perl in /etc/profile
    to emit a random quote on login was too slow. On my system fortune(1)
    can take ~100 ms from a cold start, although subsequent invocations when
    it's in cache are ~10-20 ms.

    Similarly using Perl is also slow, this is in the 80 ms range:

        perl -COEL -MYAML::XS=LoadFile -E'@q = @{ LoadFile("/path/to/quotes.yml") }; @q && say $q[rand @q]'

    Either way, when you have a 40 ms ping time to the remote machine
    showing that quote is the major noticeable delay when you do *ssh
    machine*.

    quotecc solves that problem, showing a quote takes around 4 ms now.
    That's comparable with any hello wold program in C that I produce.

I wrote this program because using L<fortune(1)> and Perl in
F</etc/profile> to emit a random quote on login was too slow. On my
system L<fortune(1)> can take ~100 ms from a cold start, although
subsequent invocations when it's in cache are ~10-20 ms.

Similarly using Perl is also slow, this is in the 80 ms range:

    perl -COEL -MYAML::XS=LoadFile -E'@q = @{ LoadFile("/path/to/quotes.yml") }; @q && say $q[rand @q]'

Either way, when you have a 40 ms ping time to the remote machine
showing that quote is the major noticeable delay when you do I<ssh
machine>.

L<quotecc> solves that problem, showing a quote takes around 4 ms
now. That's comparable with any hello wold program in C that I
