6 to 10 per second is probably not a problem for AppleEvents....
Yes, AE is MUCH faster than AS, but I wonder how they benchmark against
checking for the existence of a file. One the one hand, the general
rule of thumb is that any time you touch the disk you're slowing things
down, but on the other hand checking the existence of a file will
usually be working in the OS' cache after the first request, and even AE
has quite a few layers of obverhead.
Checking the existence of a file benchmarks here at 0.0165 ms on a 1GHz
PB G4, running the second script I posted at

Anyone have time to run a comparative benchmark?
