I think this same argument can be applied to just about anything that

beyond simple "pull the email from Entourage and dump it into FMP" type

scale.
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.... (!)
What you're trying to do is script applications to do the work (which is
no problem at all). The before-mentioned things were talking about
(AppleScript itself working on internally huge amounts of data - e.g.,
500,000 lines data)
