When I'm specifying an argument for make
like PREFIX_PATH=/some/path/to/prefix/
I sometimes experience very slow completion for my directories (a few seconds). It's annoying when I've got several variables to specify.
To get around the problem I've been typing out the variables first to get regular completion speed, then hitting home' to insert
make` that the start of my command line. What is happening and how can I fix it?
