Hello Paul,
Well, I suppose it's possible for one never to have been running
OS X at 4:30 am on a weekend morning and not have heard that
wicked cron task start sounding like it's grinding the attached
hard disks into hamburger patties.
So you might not have had the db to start with. But after it's
there, 'locate' returns in about 2-3 seconds.

do shell script "locate \"*.app\""
Sounded interesting, but returned a null string here.
I had to...
sudo /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
Then I got a nice list, with paths!
The update took about a minute.
