I'd like to know what is the observed difference in speed when using

Thank you very much for all your feedbacks about this issue.
Many of you said that AppleScript language is not so well-documented
than Perl language.
That's right, we can find many books about Perl. (On the web too.)
However, there is no documentation, no example, no tutorial about Perl
in the Apple Developer Tools, nor on the Apple website.
And Perl is not so easy to understand cause of its unusual and very
compact syntax.
So, the 'do shell script' command appears as a powerful feature for
Unix and Linux 'PerlScripters', but rather opaque and hermetic for
'AppleScripters'.
Question to the Apple dev' team: do you plan to include documentation
about Perl for the AppleScript 'do shell script' command?
