I have a script which in the fullness of time will repeatedly (several hundred 
times) run a list of commands as an Applescript.  It will take a fair bit of 
time to loop through because each iteration involves speech recognition.

My question is, will there be any meaningful speed advantage to storing the 
AppleScript in a variable rather than field?  This doesn’t mean finishing all 
340 iterations faster, because the slowdown is the human thinking about the 
question and giving a response.  I’m thinking about a bit more responsivity 
from 

tell application "SpeechRecognitionServer"
        local tresult, choicesLanguageModel, titem
        set choicesLanguageModel to {"false", "slightly true", "mainly true", 
"very true"}
set tPrompt to "item 6"
        set tresult to listen for choicesLanguageModel with prompt tPrompt 
giving up after 30
        say tresult
        return tresult
end tell

(I should say that the line "set tPrompt to "item 6”” looks a bit weird because 
it is incremented under script control, and when that happens the indent is 
lost.)

I know I could test, but if someone just knows….

Cheers

David Glasgow
