One thing that surprised me about Node was how slow the default way to shelling out (child_process) could be (probably https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/14917).
Although according to the linked issue, it has been "fixed", I still ran into a problem during a batch script that was calling imagemagick through a shell for each file in a massive directory; profiling was telling me that starting (not completing) (yes, I was using the async version) the child process increasingly slows, from sub-millisecond for the first few spawns, to eventually hundreds of milliseconds or seconds... Eventually I had to resort to doing only single spawn a bash script that in turn did all the shelling out.
It seems that the linked execa still relies on child_process and therefore has the same issue. It saddens me to see the only package for node that appears to actually fix this and provide a workaround seems to be https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/node-spawn-async and unmaintained.
