Actually, I thought about an autosave. Tried an idler handler --
when 30 seconds of idle time accumulates, I figured that would
indicate non-use, and I could execute a save without disrupting
work flow. However, I couldn't make it work. Put it in the stack
script but the idle handler never seemed to get called. Probably
the fact that I tried an idler handler shows how green I am as a
programmer. How would you go about making one?
But back to my original inquiry, isn't 10 to 12 seconds to save a
10MB file awfully long? Compared to everything else I do on a
computer (words, spreadsheets, audio, video, photographs, ocr) it
seems slow.

I don't know about benchmark on routines, but I have created a
measly 10MB file -- customer database -- and saving changes to
the file takes a full 10 seconds or more. That seems pretty
slow to me. Duplicating the file in Finder takes a fraction of
a second. Saving an edited 10MB .wav audio file takes a
fraction of a second.
Why is saving the stack so slow? This is going to be a real
pain for my data entry lady who is used to HC saving
everything automatically and invisibly....
Possibly you need to be kind to your data entry lady and build
an autosave routine into your stack.

I'm wondering if anyone has benchmarked 7.0 performance? I
did two quick
tests and found:
on mouseUp
put the long seconds into T
repeat with i = 1 to 20000000
put "A" && "aa" into X
end repeat
put the long seconds - T
end mouseUp
Took almost 5x as long to run as on 6.7, which I expected
since it's
presumably doing UTF things under the hood.
But I also found:
on mouseUp
put the long seconds into T
repeat with i = 1 to 20000000
end repeat
put the long seconds - T
end mouseUp
Took about 1.5x as long to run on 7.0 as on 6.7. Obviously
our own code is
still a much larger factor -- "repeat for each" in 7.0 is
still going to
handily beat "repeat with" in 6.7 for processing large chunks
of text, etc.
