Well, I'm constantly splitting the application script around into libraries
because of the 32k limit... I have an offscreen window and I put them there.
Also, some operations (one in particular involving reading resources and
using a progress bar) seem to run faster in the application script than in
say a window script. I'm not sure why.

Which is why I'm still using version 3.0.1 of FaceSpan. To me there are no
real benefits for going to 3.5.1, whereas the QuickDraw requirement is a
hindrance.
