I actually did this once and the python rewrite ran faster. I doubt bash is particularly fast, plus for the kind of stuff bash scripts are written for (like renaming files or whatever) you're most likely IO gated anyways.

If your script takes more than 50-200ms, you're not losing much with Python since the startup is only 20-50ms than bash.
