I have been porting some of our customers' scripts to Mac OS X, only to find
that the performance is woeful. Something that took 8 minutes on a beige G3
running OS 9 now takes 20 minutes on a G4/450 running Mac OS X. (And of that
20 minutes, the CPU was hogged for 15:32)
I suspect that this is due in part to the small physical memory footprint
given to AppleScript applications (around 2 MB), which means that there is
way too much paging to disc happening.
Does anyone know of a way to instruct the OS to give a greater memory
allocation to AppleScript applications? or to otherwise increase
performance?
Any thoughts appreciated as many of our customers would like to upgrade to
Mac OS X, but not at the expense of performance.
