I have recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks and since then my console has become very slow and unresponsive.

I am using the oh-my-zsh ZSH shell

Sammynammari posted a fix for a similar problem here on github. It is caused by the vi-mode plugin so you must disable it until it has been fixed.

Open up your .zshrc file and remove the vi-mode plugin from the plugins list.

Before:

plugins=(vi-mode)

After:

plugins=()

Once you restart the console it should be fine again. If it doesn't work then try disabling all the plugins, then if that works gradually re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.
