But why does this script take anywhere from 18 to 25 seconds on a
1.83 GHz Intel iMac?
tell application "Finder"
repeat 1500 times
get current date
end repeat
beep
end tell
It doesn't on my MacBook:
Duration: 0.34s, AppleScript: 0.08s, Apple Events: 0.27s (1501)
Yet this one is almost instantaneous
set x to 0
tell application "Finder"
repeat 1500 times
set x to x + 1
end repeat
beep
end tell
Duration: 0.02s, AppleScript: 0.00s, Apple Events: 0.02s (1)
Wouldn't that speed increase be because you aren't actually doing
*anything* useful in this script?
