There was a thread recently, that I can't find, in which calling
scripting additions within application tell blocks was discussed. This
issue comes up from time to time, I guess. It used to be settled law
that one avoided doing it, partly because of efficiency issues. It was
thought that the command had to pass through the tell block's
application before reaching the applescript component where it was
handled.
Recently it's been claimed, I think, that this is a myth.
I think you're confusing two issues. It's always been claimed, and
known, that calls to scripting additions within tell blocks are slower.
What I think you are referring to is recent discussions about nesting a
tell block inside another tell block, and for that there is no
performance penalty, contrary to lore.
