10.4: Stagger startup items for less system impact
Authored by: mark hunte on Jul 18, '06 01:04:41PM
Using the shell command sleep instead of delay is
less cpu hogging if I remember right because it sleeps the whole script process.

So in applescript. do shell script "sleep 40"

10.4: Stagger startup items for less system impact

That was fixed in OS X 10.4.3 - AppleScript 1.10.3:

'The delay command now yields more time to other processes. [4179466]'

Cheers
