Hi Yvan.
I don't know if this helps for your current purpose, but the following
version of your example script works very well (on my machine) with text
twice as long as that generated by Deivy's script:
tell application "TextEdit" to tell document 1's text
make new character at end with data "=azertyuiop="
set properties to {font:"Menlo-Regular", size:11.0}
end tell
'new character', 'new word', or 'new paragraph' can be used
interchangeably here. But for some reason, 'new character' works almost
instantaneously, 'new paragraph' takes a little longer, and 'new word'
takes quite a while.
If it's not practical for the script to edit the text within TextEdit
itself, vanilla-edited text can be put back in smaller chunks:
tell application "TextEdit" to tell document 1
set leTexte to its text
set leTexteNouveau to (leTexte & "=azertyuiop=") -- or whatever your edit may be.
set c to (count leTexteNouveau)
set its text to ""
repeat with i from 1 to (count leTexteNouveau) by 65536
set j to i + 65535
if (j > c) then set j to c
make new character at end of its text with data (text i thru j of leTexteNouveau)
end repeat
set properties of its text to {font:"Menlo-Regular", size:11.0}
end tell
