Apple can fix this one soon. I guess we need to report it as a bug.
Try opening the AppleSystemProfiler app. It turns out that it's actually
executing:
osascript -e 'with timeout of 120 seconds' -e 'tell application "Apple
System Profiler"' -e 'set x to system profile as Unicode text' -e 'x as
string' -e 'repeat until text of x is not ""' -e 'end repeat' -e 'quit' -e
'end tell' -e 'end timeout' -e 'x'
Which means that it's actually getting the system profile by AppleScript,
accounting for the delay of launching the app. Just thought that that might
be interesting to all of you.
