I seem to recall people mentioning on the list that AppleScript lists start to get a bit flakey above a certain size. 15,000 items OK?

(Back story is that we have a system which stores images on the file system and references to those images in a FileMaker Pro database. If the image on the file system is no longer in the database, I'd like to delete the image. Rather than run a few 100,000 database queries, I was going to get the current dataset loaded into AppleScript and query it from there.)

TIA
