try using 2>>

I don't know if this is supported on Windows, but in general ">>" means 
to append to the file, while ">" means to truncate the file and start 
over from scratch.

What I'm not sure of is whether it works for standard error (file 
descriptor 2).

You also asked whether writing to a file will be slower that writing to 
the console.  I'm pretty sure it will be quite a lot faster, as it takes 
quite a bit of computation to scroll a screen full of text.  File I/O to 
add a line of text to a file takes much less.
