A short comment about a remark which might be confusing.

I think this really means: it's better when you can avoid calling a command (from an application or an osax) in a loop.


But AppleScript's loops in themselves are rather fast, it's not bad to use AppleScript loops.

Also, with Smile's calljavascript (or Safari's do javascript) command you can run javascript scripts, and... er... I have to confess that, as far as I'm concerned, they are much faster than AppleScript, for instance when it comes to manipulate lists or strings.


Oh, I mean much, much.
