Large Scripts Run too Slowly

[Ray]

Yeah I looked through recent installs and didn't find much.  I 
uninstalled a couple of Java updates but it didn't help.  The slowness 
has been creeping in for a while actually.  It's time to take the bull 
by the horns.

By the way, how are you compressing the .gz file, below?  I'm unable to 
get to decompress it using Livecode's compress/decompress commands.
