It would be visible if you write over few hundred lines of code that accessed certain OM methods. Nevertheless, it was fixed few weeks ago and should be available as a QF and in the FixPacks. Now most operations are almost instantanous. Even excessively large scripts (tested with 23K lines of customer code) now takes an instant during editing. Please note that there are very valuable 8.0 scripting improvements. 1- Repository based ScriptAssist and compilation support. Accelerates development and upgrade. Eg:If you type var oSvc = TheApplication.GetService ( ScriptAsist displays the list of services (and this appliies to all similar functions, GetBusObject, GetBusComp, SetFieldValue etc). 2- Fix & Go debugging: Greatly accelerates dbugging by eliminating .srf compilation. You make changes to the script and when you save it it applies immediately. You dont need to restart the client. 3- Services as Script libraries: Enables modular development and upgrade, accelerates development. You can now see a script method on a Service via ScriptAssist and directly call it (w/o InvokeMethod). Eg; Suppose you have a method on Service Service1 function my_concat (left : chars, right : chars) : chars { var sReturns : chars = left + "_" + right; } Then you cann call this method from another place like this. var oSvc = TheApplication ().GetService ("Service1"); var sConcat : charr = oSvc.my_concat ("Hello", "World") Thge ScriptAssist will also display that function in the drop down. 4- There is also an upcoming 8.1 feature, Script Performance Profiler. It is a tree based profiler that shows the events/methods call tree. You can drill into and see the call count, min/max time etc for each function. You can even enable line profiling and see the timing information for individual lines. The 8.0 ScriptAssist performance degredation is fixed. It would be visible if you write over

I've seen some performance impact on Tools, but only an acceptable trade-off. Interesting. I’ve seen some performance impact on Tools, but only an acceptable trade-off.

Hopefully they resolve that soon - it looked nifty.
