- Thread-topic: Script length limitations
I've found that the limit appears to be most closely associated with the compiled script object size. Once the compile size approaches 1 MB, I start to run into issues. Each application the script talks to also appears to affect the size limit, probably due to the need to pull in application terminology. My solution has been to split my code into smaller objects that talk to each other.

Shane's absolutely correct. This is undoubtedly a long standing issue with AppleScript (as all of its issues are) so waiting for a fix from Apple is nonsensical.
Make your emitter close and restart your try block every 3000 statements or so.
