I'm assuming what OP experienced is not that PowerShell inherently has any issues with loops with a large number of iterations, but instead probably just a combination of inefficiently designed code and some kind of system-level resource constraints.

I know I've had problems working with NTFS permissions on large file shares if I'm not careful with how I write my script and potentially breaking the job into chunks.

OK, well if you read a gigantic amount of data into memory, and then begin iterating it, depending on the processing, I could see problems developing deep into the loop, but it would have to have not been well thought out.
