Large Scripts Run too Slowly

[Ray]

Richard - I only notice the slow-down in the IDE.  The code executing 
normally seems to run fine.  It's when I open the script editor that I 
run into problems.

I don't know why my decompress didn't work but your line opened the 
FlightRecorder stack fine.  Thanks!  I'll give it a try.
