Extremly slow "delete characters" in text suite and/or Mail.app

Dear List.

I am the developer of Serial Mail (see http://www.christian-fries.de/osx/SerialMail for info), a small too to generate personalized emails using Mail.app and Address Book. The program is written in Cocoa / Objective-C, but talks to Mail.app via AppleScript.

Within the AppleScript I use something like

tell message myMessage
delete (characters a to b)
end tell

This is extremely slow. Why is this and is there a better way? (Note: I do not want to extract the content as text and work on the text, see my other post on that topic).

Christian
