Hi, Axel.
I tested the very handlers posted by Luther, in separate scripts, with
identical lines in the implicit run handlers to set the top folder of
the hierarchy (as alias) and to time the handler calls. The tests were
run from AppleScript Editor in OS 10.6.6 with all Finder windows
initially closed. Both scripts were run a couple times to "run them in"
before the actual timing runs. The hierarchy itself is inside my
Documents folder and contains six subfolders, each each of which
contains various numbers of sub-sub- and sub-sub-sub-folders. (85
folders in all, including the root.)
Typical timings for Luther's first handler: 7.3 seconds; for the second:
6.1 seconds. Up to 0.4 seconds variation in the results.
