This annoyance has dogged folder actions in OS X. I first commented on it
here in 2002...
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2002/Sep/msg00073.html
...and of course responded robustly when Sander brought up the issue last

I used to dream of a day when Folder actions in OS X would be as smooth as
the were in OS 9. If they still aren't fixed, even in Tiger, I guess the
dream's pretty much dead.
