csh is already my default shell. If I'm running csh scripts, are all of those files (/etc/csh.cshrc, /etc/csh.login, $HOME/.cshrc, $HOME/.login, $HOME/.tcshrc, $HOME/.history) still processed? If so, that explains it. The .cshrc file is huge.
How can I make csh skip those files? You see, csh is the default shell at my company, and the .cshrc is necessary because it sets up a lot of environment variables for our software. I can't remove the .cshrc... so can I skip it?

which(1) User Commands which(1)
NAME
which - locate a command; display its pathname or alias
SYNOPSIS
which [filename...]
DESCRIPTION
which takes a list of names and looks for the files which would be executed had these names been given as commands. Each argument is
expanded if it is aliased, and searched for along the user's path. Both aliases and path are taken from the user's .cshrc file.
FILES
~/.cshrc source of aliases and path values
/usr/bin/which
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWcsu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
csh(1), attributes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
A diagnostic is given for names which are aliased to more than a single word, or if an executable file with the argument name was not found
in the path.
NOTES
which is not a shell built-in command; it is the UNIX command, /usr/bin/which
BUGS
Only aliases and paths from ~/.cshrc are used; importing from the current environment is not attempted. Must be executed by csh(1), since
only csh knows about aliases.
To compensate for ~/.cshrc files in which aliases depend upon the prompt variable being set, which sets this variable to NULL. If the
~/.cshrc produces output or prompts for input when prompt is set, which may produce some strange results.
