the excessive processor load is back, so it's not the _code_ that's responsible. Ergo, it must be something in the relationship between AppleScript and Text to Speech.

So I tried

do shell script "say -v Alex " & theseThings

to test this hypothesis, and voila! No heavy CPU overhead. I'll leave it to someone less oblivious to Apple Events and platform architecture to explain these findings.

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.
