Doesn't this depend on how many paths there are? If there are only
a few paths, the loop in shell would beat a pipe into sed even on
Linux, I suspect, and if there are tons of paths, at some number,
loop in shell would become slower than a single spawning of sed on
platforms with slower fork, no?
Absolutely. I just want to make sure a suggested change takes into
account the situation on Windows, not only the "YESSSS!" and "VERY
WELL!" votes of Linux users ;)
