It's doing the work only once.

Yes, it's not ideal.

But it beats shipping your entire dev env to the server.

I find it a good compromise. The extraction is done is $HOME/.shiv/{zipappname}_{zipapphash} so it's not a horrible mess. But if your project is big, you do have to clean up the old install because it can eat a significant amount of space.

For you regular cmd tool though, it's a blip.
