Large Scripts Run too Slowly

[Michael Doub]

Ray,

Take a look at the way the MasterLibrary Works. 
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wpwn3hfbmpl7sk/MasterLibrary.livecode?dl=0 It 
has an infrastructure in place to add functions and handler to stacks.  
These can easily be turned into substacks.    Feel free to copy with 
pride if it makes sense for your situation.   The MasterLibrary was 
intended to be used for code that is re-used multiple times in many 
applications but it might give you some ideas.  Unfortunately, the 
dependance graph is created manually.  It would be really nice if I 
could figure that out dynamically, but it is what it is for now.     
Because of that it may be easier to build the libraries by hand is the 
code was not intended to be reusable reusable.    Anyway, food for 
thought...

I just checked the size of the library and it is currently running at 
12250 lines and I am only noticing a minor lag on loading the script 
into the editor.  I guess I am going to add some new content to see if I 
run into the slow downs that you describe.
