I can't see in your code many points where you can be faster. The only lack
for speed is the Finder. If you're working under MacOS X, I'd say your
better option is substitute all "tell blocks" related to the Finder by "do
shell script" equivalents.
If not, my first step when calling the Finder would be:
tell application "Finder"
set visible of first process whose name is "Finder" to false
end tell
--> if you hide the Finder, he will be busy doing your job, instead
--> of doing-your-job + doing-his-job (update)
Then, maintain your applet/script runner as the frontmost app.
