I have a script that contains something like this ...
set folderList to (folders of outerFolder) as alias list
repeat with aFolder in folderList
set fileList to (files of aFolder) as alias list
repeat with aFile in fileList
-- do stuff
end repeat
end repeat
I have also included code to calculate the number of files processed
per second.
Each time I run this, a batch of hundreds of files are processed.
Timing looks like this ...
batch 1 ... 1.5 files/sec
batch 2 ... 1.4 files/sec
batch 3 ... 1.2 files/sec
batch 4 ... 0.9 files/sec
Restart
batch 5 ... 1.8 files/sec
If I continue running batches without restarting, it gets really,
really slow.
Anyone know what's happening, here?
By "restart", do you mean rebooting the whole box?
What happens when just re-launching the Finder?
Do you run the script in Script Editor? If yes, does quitting then re-
starting Script Editor have some beneficial effect?
On the other hand, depending on the stuff to be done in "do stuff",
perhaps could you try to avoid some costly lists; something along
those lines:
repeat with aFolder in folders of outerFolder
repeat with aFile in files of aFolder
-- do stuff with aFile or with aFile as alias
end repeat
end repeat
