Fine, but as you also quoted my answer to Michelle Steiner, I like to point out I was in my answer never comparing her two scripts or claimed any quality in my own test code.

After having added the 'activate' command to Steiner's originally posted code I expected the runtime to be much faster on Steiner's Intel machine, than on my older machine of notable inferior prestanda, not the other way as Michelle Steiner claims happen when we run exactly the same code. That seems to me be the real mystery to solve (as Michelle Steiner writes in her recent posting "2. Why does inserting "activate" into the code improve it on some Intel Macs, but not on others?").

regards,

Hello.

I'm not sure and hope that Christopher Nebel will tell the truth if I am wrong but my assumption is that when we put the activate instruction in the tell Finder block, we ask the Finder to respond to our calls before the other calls it receive.
Something like : hey Finder, not only I'm speaking to you but you must do what I asked without waiting!
