I think the difference between 10.75 and 10.5 is probably within
experimental error. It's hard to know when the processor is stolen away
for other work.
If you get that difference consistently, though, it merely implies that
BBEdit is slightly faster than Finder at accepting an Apple event and
declining to process it because it is unknown (the application returns
errAEEventNotHandled or however it's spelled)...Apple Event Manager then
tries the registered system level events.
In that case, results should change if you reverse the nest, putting BBEdit
outside and Finder inside.
Finder (I assert) has nothing whatever to do with processing
tell application "Finder"
tell application "BBEdit 6.5"
current date
end tell
end tell
After compile time, Finder is unknown (I assert) in the code compiled for
that sequence.
