This is just a hunch, but maybe holding down the option key has AB do something special.
Try e.g. swap the behavior of what to do when option is held/ released and/or try another modifier key, see if that changes things.
No, the Option key has nothing to do with it. I changed the drag command to
uid=`cat "$TM_DROPPED_FILE" |\ awk -F: '/^X-ABUID/\ {printf "%s:ABPerson", substr($2,1,length($2)-1)}'` osascript $HOME/bin/abname.scpt "$uid"
and it still takes 20+ seconds to run when dragging a card directly from Address Book.
As I said in my message yesterday, dragging a card from AB doesn't work at all in Leopard, so maybe this isn't worth pursuing.
