One way to start a background process and exit is to add an ampersand, &, at the end of a line of script that executes a command requiring a child process.
I donno if AppleScript will honor that. I also don't know how you could ever turn it off. Saving the process ID returned by the & and yet another AppleScript to execute a kill command, perhaps.
