Consider the post about performance is from start of 2007, I question the actively part.

Answer 3

@Lessevk: Well spotted :)

Answer 4

Are there any rivals to filehelper? I found it quite restrictive to use.

Answer 5

I've used filehelpers to manipulate files of around 10,000 records (mainly transforming from CSV to Fixed Length format) and I've found that it performs reasonably well (around 10-12 seconds per transform. I'm also currently contributing some code to filehelpers so if you let me know what specifically you want improved I might be able to help?
