shell is fast, but it takes long to start it up.
whenever you send a command, a new shell environment is created.
for alternative solutions with running "outside" programs, i once
proposed a "server" that communicates with Pd via pdsend/receive on this
list.
for appending lines to a file, you can use zexy's [fwriteln].
this doesn't solve your problem of grep/sed/awk though.
