It takes about 260 milliseconds to lock and unlock the screen (OS X 10.3, slowish G4). Here is my test script that takes 2680 milliseconds to run:
on mouseUp put the milliseconds into startTime repeat 10 lock screen unlock screen end repeat put the milliseconds-startTime end mouseUp
If I comment out either the lock screen or the unlock screen then the whole thing takes 2 milliseconds and if I comment out the unlock screen line then it takes less than one millisecond.
Is it slow on other systems? Is this some Quartz "feature"? Is there something wrong with the way that Rev does screen locking or unlocking? How can I get around slow screen updates for animating lots of points?

Michael,
Your problem is probably related to the problem I have with RR on OS X. See "Trouble with graphics display in OS X" in the list archives. Or check out
go url "http://home.infostations.net/jhurley/DisplayProblems.rev";
RR does not do a screen refresh after a "set the loc of ...." in OS X and so an "Unlock screen" command is required. This slows the OS X performance.
