This was my response which was not quite correct!

I did get an run time error until I re-compiled. The Error involved a math function. When I tried to run the AppleScript program the run-time was very long. The program that took 5 min. on
OS 10.5, 10.6 & 10.7 , but took 90Min on OS 10.8. I thought the computer was locked up. Another of the
programes took 30 min on the old systems, I have not tried this program on 10.8 yet.
Second reason, because of the time the programs takes to run, I would like to include a progress bar. This is
not a big concern.

Then I guess the processing time is the only problem, or reason to get AppleScriptObjC to work.
That is if it will be any faster.
Thanks for the help and information:
