Isn't NT supposed to provide posix compliance or am I mistaken?
I would have thought that file system access thru posix would be as fast

Well some companies (at least one rather large bank in fact:-) that I know

the whole idea of scripting com components with a functional language
really works in practice perhaps this is an area that Haskell might break
