I use this very simple script to increase the paragraph spacing of the current paragraph by 1 point (linked to a function key in the keyboard shortcuts this is quicker than getting into the paragraph dialogue):

var Par=app.selection[0].paragraphs.item(0);
Par.spaceBefore=Par.spaceBefore+1

This script slows down to snail's pace as you get further down a document. Is there any way to soup up this script using a different notation? It was mentioned earlier in this forum that JS scripts slow down in large documents, so maybe it's a general issue.
