Hi,

AppleScript seems to run at considerably slower speeds in the new Intel Mac's compared to comparably equipped G4 or G5's.

If it's an application that was saved on a PowerPC box, you need to open it on the Intel box, then do Save as... and save it as an application, then it will be intel-compiled. Other than that I could see no reason for this... might you provide the script? I have an Intel Mac and a Power Mac G4 to test on.

I did a small survey on my local MacWorld discussion forum. About half a dozen of the users runned a simple Finder AppleScript provided by me on their machines. The results showed that the Intel Mac's where much slower (in the worst case, about 25 times) than older machines of reasonably comparable Mhz and RAM.


Does anyone know the cause of this problem? Or better: can anyone suggest a remedy? I would love to switch to an Intel Mac, but I feel strongly prevented at the moment as I need AS running at good speeds.

Thanks,

Leif
