I also encounter same problem, my environment is

Yosemite 10.10.5 Git 2.3.2 (Apple Git-55)

I only use git and vi-mode plugin, I fixed it by comment a line in .oh-my-zsh/plugins/vi-mode/vi-mode.plugin.zsh

zle reset-prompt

removed vi-mode added bindkey -v

that fixed it for me

I updated git to 1.8.4.1 and enabled vi-mode again, seems to fix the responsness for me
