OK, I've pushed two more changes that now show better performance (a 
bit, but still) than project-find-regexp, at least on my machine.

Testing welcome.

Unfortunately, it uses call-process-region which has no Tramp 
counterpart. I'm really tempted to leave solving that problem up to 
Michael, either but adding a proper public counterpart (like a file 
file-process-region, with a Tramp handler), or by encapsulating the 
choice of whether to use call-process-region or a temporary file, in a 
private function. Neither seems too hard to do, though.
