Two important hints for keychain scripting...

1) Use the "Usable Keychain Scripting" OSAX. I can't find the URL for this right now, but it's literally hundreds of times faster than the OSX keychain scripting (unless they've fixed something recently).

2) Don't ask for the password unless you need it. It's only access to the password that is protected. I have scripts that scan the entire keychain looking for things matching a pattern, and they only request the password from a key when needed. Consequently the entire scan doesn't even require the keychain to be unlocked and involves no prompts.
