Dramatic slowdown while resizing images by script

[Kay C Lan]

Is this in relation to a Mac with Retina display.

If so see the List post "LiveCode 6.6 very slow on Retina MacBookPro"

The Rev blog entry:

and Neil Roger's workaround to use QuickRes to manually set your screen
resolution:

Works like a charm.
