The Mac OS can run large scripts with no problem. But Script Editor is
using the Text Edit toolbox to handle the content of it's windows, and edit
fields were only designed to hold up to 32 K of text.
While Apple states in their developer documentation that edit fields should
not be used as word processors, countless apps including their own Script
Editor try to do exactly that. Funny huh?

Smile has no length limit. :)
