I think this same argument can be applied to just about anything that goes
beyond simple "pull the email from Entourage and dump it into FMP" type

All the same, I think it still scales to a sufficient level to be "good
enough" for many tasks.

I'm kind of worried about this. I am new to AppleScript, and I need to create a droplet or some sort of applet that can generate thumbnails of graphics files (such as JPEGs or Photoshop files or PDFs) on Mac OS 9. I subscribed to this list just the other day to learn more about AppleScript, since it is very different from other languages I am used to. Does AppleScript run into memory problems when working on large amounts of data? I was hoping to perform the abovementioned task on folders containing > 300 MB of files.... (!)
