How can I speed up this script? The more files inside myFolder, the slower the script.

tell application "Finder"
if class of myFolder is alias file then
set myFolder to original item of myFolder -- 0.01 sec if myFolder is empty, but 5 secs. if myFolder contains 7000 images
end if
end tell

Just noticed, but shouldn't the second line be ...

if class of item myFolder is alias file then

For example ...

set fileAlias to alias "OS_X:Users:lutherfuller:Desktop:CommentRepair.app"

tell application "Finder"

class of fileAlias --> alias

class of item fileAlias --> «class alia»

(class of item fileAlias) as text --> "alias file"

end tell
