How about using the excellent 'precmd' alias (depends on you using csh as
your shell though).  In your .cshrc file put:

alias precmd "your fast command here"

Don't know if you've come across precmd before, it executes a command
immediately after control is returned to the shell when you execute anything
in a csh login shell. I have precmd setup like:

alias prcmd "echo && w -n && echo"

so it displays a list of logged in users after each command I run in a shell.
Pretty handy.

Hope that helps,
