Hmm, that classifies as 'not good' or even 'not good
at all' ; are you running MacOS9 or X ? IIRC, you're
using MacOSX ; are you getting the coloured pizza when
you try to do something in RunRev afte picking the
menuItem ?
Are you running many other apps at the same time? It
could be the OS is paging memory to the harddrive --
I've seen that take up quite some time (4 minutes
even) between running Safari and Revolution at the
same time on the Pismo PowerBook at work.

Turning on debugging doesn't do anything straight away
; you will only see the change in the script window as
it adds the white space on the left, and when the
execution hits a breakpoint -- at which point the
script window will be brought forward, waiting for
your interaction.
