Obvious.
Sorry, what's obvious? It's obvious that it's confusing? Or I'm just
obviously confused? My replacement script was obvious? :)
Sorry. I mean, when your code includes many "do shell script" lines
you may [ obviously ] wonder am I using the right tool.
[...]Also, if the timing test was of the form
repeat N times
do shell script "rm ..."
end repeat
vs
repeat N times
fileremove ...
end repeat
then I'd be interested in the results when you let the shell do the
looping as well, e.g.
do shell script "for (( i=0; i<" & N & "; ++i )); do rm ...; done"
I expect Files.osax will still win, but perhaps by a smaller margin.
I would expect Files.osax to not win, because the poor caller script
has to make one fully-fledged AppleEvent for each call.
Fairest would be to compare with fileremove <list of URLs here>, this
would make only one AE and URLs are fileremove's preferred food. Then
probably Files.osax wins.

That said, I think that AD 2008 *is* actually what we call usually 2008.
