- Thread-topic: Applescript "Excessively" Slow in Leopard
>>>Applescript is "incredibly slow" in Leopard. Just simple repeat scripts going
through Finder folders to make changes takes 2 to 3 times longer than in Tiger.
And it just seems to be getting slower with the 10.5.2 update.
May not be an appleScript issue.
------------
Consider this from www.macfixit.com
General slowness right after update is to be expected. Note that slow
general system responsiveness immediately after installing the update is to
be expected as Spotlight re-indexes drives. One this process is done, normal
speed should resume.
If it doesn't see our tutorial "Avoiding unresponsiveness/slow-downs in Mac
OS X. http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20050310003145313

One option mentioned on that page:
-----------
Shutdown your mac, restart and press cmmd-s when you hear the start up
chime.
Keep holding until you see white on black gobbeldy gook scrolling down. At
the end of the line type in "fsck -y", hit return.
If at the end of the run it says file was modified, then run it again untill
you get an 'ok'.
type "reboot", the mac will boot as before. This works everytime and my
recommendation is that this should be done as a routine maintenance.

If you try any of this, let us know how it worked out.
