Michelle, 

You are not alone in having grave misgivings about the speed of some operations in ID --- especially those controlled by a script. I don't have an answer for you, nor I suspect will anyone else. The days when software was written in machine code that really did make optimum use of a processor's speed have long gone. The ID scripting interpreter is so slow that I believe that it must have been written in Prolog. 

It's the price of progress: just pray for faster processors --- that's what the program writers are doing. 

Mike
