Look at the Vilna Gaon's sefer "Maaseh Rav. In ten different places it discusses this. There are many problems with this. My personal favorite is the fact that 85% of the people just finished saying a few thousand Pesukim, and hundreds of different Berachot & Tefilot, without having any Kavana whatsoever, and now to give God just that little bit of extra pleasure, we're gonna say a few Kapitlach Tehilim....
