I while ago I wanted to optimize my FMP scripts, and I noticed that different methods of calling the scripts resulted in different speeds. So I ran a bunch of time trials.


set theTicks to current date
tell application "Finder"
	repeat 500 times
		make new file at "Macintosh HD:temp:"
	end repeat
end tell
display dialog ((current date) - theTicks)

Granted, this time trial script doesn't call FMP directly, so it's just testing the general speed of a script from being called in different ways:

use "run script" command from FMP 		6
embed script in FMP						10
run within script editor						10
run from Script menu						11
as app run from FMP						20
as app									25
send "do Script" apple event	(launched classic)
