The timings in post #10 are from a script run from the ESTK. It has been mentioned that running scripts from the palette is quicker, which is confirmed:

UndoModes.fastEntireScript 21, 21
UndoModes.autoUndo 50, 43 / 30, 24
UndoModes.entireScript 52, 33 / 31, 26
UndoModes.scriptRequest 24, 25

The timings for autoUndo and entireScript look bizarre here, I've no idea what was going on. Timings after the slash were obtained after restarting InDesign. Didn't improve. The downward trend of these two modes in seuccessive runs is strange.

Anyway, all this confirms that the quickest way to run a script is to have it fired up by doScript() using UndoModes.fastEntireScript.
