What is wrong with
#!/usr/bin/env interpreter
from technical POV?
This is what's wrong:
$ cat > sh.sh
#!/bin/sh
$ cat > env.sh
#!/usr/bin/env sh
$ chmod +x sh.sh env.sh
$ time for i in $(seq 1000); do ./sh.sh; done
real 0m2.737s
user 0m0.750s
sys 0m1.519s
$ time for i in $(seq 1000); do ./env.sh; done
real 0m3.677s
user 0m1.013s
sys 0m2.296s
