I was curious about this, so I ran a simple AppleScript...

beep
delay 10
beep

While running 'top -u' in a terminal window. The %CPU rate for the ScriptEditor remained above 95 & 100+ %CPU usage during the 10 second delay. Wow!

Then I ran...

beep
do shell script "sleep 10"
beep

With %0.0 CPU usage for the ScriptEditor during the 10 second delay.

Great Tip, thanks.
