I've got a script running which:
1) creates a Finder list of files in a given folder (numbering in the

2) opens each file for access sequentially
3) reads the file into a variable
4) and if the text contains a given string, adds this text to a
FileMaker Pro database (in a nested tell)
All working just fine. The thing I don't get: it's MUCH faster when
I've got the script open in Script Editor, than when I save it as a
compiled app and launch it. Makes no sense to me. Why is this happening?
A similar question occured some times ago on the list, in a thread
called "Why are compiled scripts slower than from Script Editor?"
(initiated by Patrick S. Page-McCaw on 1st February).
Which version of OS/AS are you running?
Did you have the opportunity to isolate one or more commands that really
run far slower in your compiled script?
And, if not too long, could you post your script?
