We have discovered that AppleScirpt code runs faster in the FaceSpan runtime than it does in Apple’s applet/droplet environment. Â One of our testers has found that he has been able to dramatically improve the performance of several of his AppleScript applets by simply transplanting their code into a FaceSpan project.
FaceSpan 5.0 provides two template projects (Applet and Droplet) to make this transition simpler.
I’ve found the same thing in ScriptDebugger. At this point, I’ve stopped saving my scripts as apps, and just open them in Debugger before running.
