Actually no. They are generaly not very fast. The reason is that the shell interpreter needs to create a new process for each and every commend you specify in the script and usualy parses and executes the script line by line. Which means that if you have a loop in the script the interpreter will parse the lines within the loop over and over again. So as soon as the script gets even a little bit more complex it gets much slower than a Perl script would be.
