Hey Folks,

When speed is at issue you should never use Finder references if avoidable.

In a Finder-Tell block where the contents of the folder (<alias>) in question is only 30 items.

items of <alias>

--> 0.3212 sec

items of <alias> as alias list

--> 0.0393 sec

Big difference.

Best Regards,
Chris
