Some of our tests show that on a basic PowerPC that faxing with
Apple Events is 700% faster that faxing with AppleScript. In addition
to performance there is the issue of file paths- once apps are moved
or renamed, AppleScript may not recognize them. Check out this warning
about AppleScript and the confusion caused by FileMaker Pro 4.0
and 3.0 existing together.
Apple
Events use the information built into the resources of an application,
so no matter where the app is on your hard drive the Apple Event
will find it.
