Yes yes i get it. :) All replies after rich's comment were redundant.
BTW, zsh was a little bit faster than bash, but with a script like this, 
unless you run it like 20 times or so, all benchmarks are silly due to 
linux caching.

zsh ./configure  6.31s user 2.16s system 89% cpu 9.510 total
sh ./configure  7.74s user 2.75s system 85% cpu 12.252 total


But it broke on some cases anyway. e.g.

var='cat whatever'
$var

gave 'zsh: command not found: cat whatever' ...
