regex - PowerShell multiple string replacement efficiency

I'm trying to replace 600 different strings in a very large text file 30Mb+. I'm current building a script that does this; following this Question:

Script:

$string = gc $filePath 
$string | % {
    $_ -replace 'something0','somethingelse0' `
       -replace 'something1','somethingelse1' `
       -replace 'something2','somethingelse2' `
       -replace 'something3','somethingelse3' `
       -replace 'something4','somethingelse4' `
       -replace 'something5','somethingelse5' `
       ...
       (600 More Lines...)
       ...
}
$string | ac "C:log.txt"

But as this will check each line 600 times and there are well over 150,000+ lines in the text file this means there’s a lot of processing time.

Is there a better alternative to doing this that is more efficient?

Combining the hash technique from Adi Inbar's answer, and the match evaluator from Keith Hill's answer to another recent question, here is how you can perform the replace in PowerShell:

# Build hashtable of search and replace values.
$replacements = @{
  'something0' = 'somethingelse0'
  'something1' = 'somethingelse1'
  'something2' = 'somethingelse2'
  'something3' = 'somethingelse3'
  'something4' = 'somethingelse4'
  'something5' = 'somethingelse5'
  'X:Group_14DACU' = '\DACU$'
  '.*[^xyz]' = 'oO{xyz}'
  'moresomethings' = 'moresomethingelses'
}

# Join all (escaped) keys from the hashtable into one regular expression.
[regex]$r = @($replacements.Keys | foreach { [regex]::Escape( $_ ) }) -join '|'

[scriptblock]$matchEval = { param( [Text.RegularExpressions.Match]$matchInfo )
  # Return replacement value for each matched value.
  $matchedValue = $matchInfo.Groups[0].Value
  $replacements[$matchedValue]
}

# Perform replace over every line in the file and append to log.
Get-Content $filePath |
  foreach { $r.Replace( $_, $matchEval ) } |
  Add-Content 'C:log.txt'
