We can speed it up by means of parallel processing, since main limiting factor is not an I/O but minifying algorithms performance.</p> <p>There are a lot of ways to use parallelism in PowerShell and it wasn&rsquo;t clear for me which one suits well for my task. I.e. to convert my script, which is processing a lot of small files on a local machine.</p> <p>It also should:</p> <ul> <li>provide updates in real time;</li> <li>keep output table formatting as close to original as possible.</li> </ul>
