Chris,
Thank you for your information.

Unfortunately, OSAScript does work same as NSAppleScript, i.e. takes 6 seconds. > $ osascript -e "tell application \"System Events\" to get process \"TextEdit\" exists"

This script get result immediately on Panther PBG4, even if TextEdit is not launched. But, on Tiger iMac G5, this script takes 7 secs to get result, when T.E. is not launched.

I guess this is not a bug of System Events, but of NSAppleScript or OSAScript.

I know you don't want to do this if you want to support Panther, but have you tested to see if using an OSAScript instead of an NSAppleScript makes a difference?

On my Tiger iMac G5, Simple AppleScript does works strangely. like:

tell application "System Events" to get process "TextEdit" exists


This script works well on Script Editor app whether if TextEdit is
running or not.

But ... When I run via NSAppleScript,
a.Tiger iMacG5 takes "6 secs" to reply "without" TextEdit running
b.Tiger iMacG5 takes less than 1 sec to reply "with" TextEdit running
c.Panther PBG4 works well whether TextEdit running or not

Is this a bug of NSAppleScript or System Events?
I guess, Script Editor works well ether panther or tiger, so this may
be a bug of NSAppleScript.
