Applescript and memory

Hello,

I was wondering where a running Applescript stores it's temporary information such as the values of variables. And more important if there is a need to clean up this "memory" from time to time, to keep up the good performance of the computer. And how that easily can be done (if needed).

Background information: I have several (stay open) scripts, watching folders for incoming jobs, on a dedicated 10.5.8 MacPro computer. These scripts talk to the Finder, Excel, TextWrangler, Image Events, System Events, several scripting additions (such as 24U Email) and InDesign CS3. Some scripts have 4000+ lines, so there's a lot of information to deal with. The computer is 24/7 up. This all made me wondering if it was a good idea to clean up the space where the temporary information is stored (whereever that space may be on the computer, or how big this information is). Any suggestions are welcome.

Bert.
