Hi Elias,

I installed fish on CentOS 5.8 i386  to try to reproduce this problem.

What I found is, for some reason, 'make install' takes a very long time, 
especially when installing the completion files. During this time the system is 
unresponsive in many ways, including the issue you describe, where commands 
take a long time to complete. Once the installation finishes it is responsive 
again. 

Are you still experiencing this problem? Is it possible you had an installation 
occurring in the background?
