It probably takes several times as as long for the applet to launch as it takes to run. No matter if the script has only one line, it will take the same time to launch the applet, and that is considerable.

I don't use FMP, but surely you have a scripts menu. If you run from that it ought to be several times faster even than running from Script Editor.

I very rarely use applets except for stay-open applets to handle events -- these are very useful.

The best way to run a script, if the application does not provide its _own_ Scripts menu and shortcuts, is to get some utility such as KeyXing to run it with a keystroke combination.
