The knuckle-head in me apologies to the list. Arrggh!
The delay was due to contention...
iPhoto was waiting for me to provide a response to the the drag-event
which triggered the AppleScript in the first place...
Hopefully this clarification will help someone else..

The Cocoa app has a compiled AppleScript which I call into for the

This is working well in every other case.

However I have a case where it is taking 25 seconds to execute a
single AppleScript statement!
This same statement has sub-second response when executed in the
Script editor.
If I simulate the Cocoa calls with various handlers in the Script
Editor everything is fine - performance is fine!
Have you tried using Shark to see exactly what your machine is
doing during those 25 seconds? It might be enlightening.
