I'd ne'er heard of PowerShell so I investigated. It is Mickeysoft's latest
addition to the Whacky World of Windows, yet another attempt to get it right,
only they got it wrong.
PowerShell is indeed really slow. But of course if you know Windows, you'd know
how to speed it up:
Set-Alias ngen @(
dir (join-path ${env:\windir} "Microsoft.NET\Framework") ngen.exe -recurse |
sort -descending lastwritetime
)[0].fullName
[appdomain]::currentdomain.getassemblies() | %{ngen $_.location}
Obviously!
Further reading indicates the many opt for Unix Tools on Windows.
