I wonder if a compiled applescript would be faster?
Maybe twice as fast. [...]
I've tried saving the applescript as a compiled application, but the execution time is still about 2 seconds. However, I notice if I save the same script and execute it from the Script Menu in the menu bar (via AppleScript Utility) or directly on the command line (via osascript) the applescript window arrangement commands run almost instantly. Where's the bottleneck?
