Powershell is just ridiculously slow for doing things like iterating through text files. Don't get me wrong... powershell is really nice for some kinds of IT work, but I've had lots of trouble with it. I love the succinct nature, but it takes a lot of effort to get a line of code to do what you need it to do...even after you've spent a LOT of time with the language.

Plus if performance matters, rewriting the critical part in a .NET language is always an option.
