A suggestion on my local Mac forum is that the Intel Mac's

Can anyone confirm or contradict that?
That's true if and only if you're referring to scripts saved as
applications. The script itself does not contain any PPC or x86
code -- it's data that's fed to the AppleScript interpreter. What
matters is the flavor of the executable running the script.
Are you saying that if you save a script as an application, without
saving it as an application bundle, it will require Rosetta to run?
No, not at all! (At least I don't think that is what was being
said... if it is I would have to say I can't confirm that.)
Even if you're saving it on an Intel Mac?
But why does this script take anywhere from 18 to 25 seconds on a
1.83 GHz Intel iMac?
tell application "Finder"
repeat 1500 times
get current date
end repeat
beep
end tell
Yet this one is almost instantaneous
set x to 0
tell application "Finder"
repeat 1500 times
set x to x + 1
end repeat
beep
end tell
