I use a similar model to run some scripts in my application, and it's fine. Maybe it's just the beep function that's slow in this context? Perhaps you could try just setting a few bogus script variables or something instead, and see what your speed is like for that.

The following is the complete source code of a little Foundation tool I
made to try some applescripting from cocoa...
Sure, it works, with any script (not just my example beep), but the
execution time is always very long... About 5-6 seconds... Same thing
happens in the java-version of the code.
Is it some problem that only I have or is it NSAppleScript that's
really slow?
I thought it might be faster to run a precompiled script but I get an
error when using initWithContentsOfURL of NSAppleScript. Can somebody
shed some light on this issue of mine?


#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(void)
{
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

NSMutableDictionary *errors=[NSMutableDictionary dictionary];

NSDate *startTime=[NSDate date];

NSAppleScript *myScript=[[NSAppleScript alloc]
initWithSource:@"beep(1)"];
[myScript executeAndReturnError:&errors];

NSLog(@"Execution time: %f",[[NSDate date]
timeIntervalSinceDate:startTime]);

[pool release];
return 0;
}
