do shell script "killall Finder"

This is a lot of overhead (it creates and initializes a shell process, which then creates a killall process). Try just telling Finder to quit, directly from AppleScript:

quit application "Finder"

And, to make it robust, identify Finder by ID instead of by name:

quit application id "com.apple.Finder"
