I'm not sure what you're saying, but for the record, my test was done
under
10.4.2.
Hello
I'm not using Tiger.
Reading this thread, I understood that the Mail's Script menu was no
longer available; That's why I assumed that the test with the Mail's
script menu was done under Panther.
In the message to which I was pointing, one may read:
Script menus run from an application and targeting that application do
not
need to queue up to send AppleEvents to other applications, and are
thus
much faster, as Shane says. They send all such commands to 'current
application'. (You can see this for yourself by removing the tell block
targeting the application from such scripts.) At least this is true
when
compared to applets, and used to be true compared to system script
menu too.
I have a vague recollection that Chris Nebel stated that they had done
something to the system Script menu in either Panther or Tiger that
removed
the impedance you otherwise get running scripts from the outside, and
that
they wouldn't be slower than run from an app's script menu. But my
recollection is vague - I don't know for certain that 1) Chris said
just
that, and 2) it's true in all regards.
I wished to know if the test using the system script menu was done
under Panther or under Tiger.
The passed message let us hope better performances under Tiger than
under Panther and, why not, same performances with Mail's script menu
under Panther and System's script menu under Tiger.
RE-reading your post, I saw what I missed at first reading: you did
tests with Entourage which seamingly have its Script menu even under
Tiger.
So, the question appears to be useless.
Remember, I'm a french guy whose english knowledge is certainly far
from perfect !
