Try

Good to know its fast, but I guess my concern is that a "try" statement
would slow down each line of a script, and so the speed hit would be a
factor of how long the script was.

Not sure why, but I always assumed it would work a bit like debugging or
using the "do" statement and significantly slow things down, so I've not
used it to wrap long complex scripts.
