I am finding that Applescripts run glutinously slowly on V6.

About 8 times slower on V6 is not untypical, with execution speeds that mean that some of the scripts I use daily – changing the layout and format of reasonably large tree diagrams for example – are not really usable on V6 at the moment.

Is there any prospect of V6 catching up with something closer to V5 execution speeds ?

(or has there perhaps been some architectural change related to the sandboxing environment ? If so, V5 may become a valuable vintage edition ...)
