CSH is a program that resides in C: This program is a shell that has cd, dir and many more builtin. So I put that on my Workbench disk and whenever I needed a shell, I just started CSH instead of the Amiga CLI. Boot times obviously were no different from a normal Workbench boot process. Since I came from a C=64 with datasette and later a 1541 clone, it seemed very fast to me.

Do you know when it was released?

No, I don't. I came very late to Amiga (1993). My Amiga friend had an A500 with external FDD and recommended CSH for the problems you described. His A500 was a chicken lips A500 he got very early which, of course, doesn't mean CSH was available as early as that. The csh on aminet (v5.50) was uploaded in 1996 but there obviously were several earlier versions.
