You can think of a script node as a small piece of code sandwiched
between routes. It flows smoothly inside the standard event model of
VRML. So there is no question about when a piece of script code's
events are processed.
Same rule as J3D behaviours, do not do any long calculations inside a
script. If you are accessing a network connection then you will need to
have that handled on a seperate thread to avoid slowing the rendering.
