Is there a reason my AppleScript is running so slow? - bash

Question

I have a script to run from a command line prompt. The command,
followed by some text, will set a reminder in the Reminder.app with a
due date of next friday. The script is taking about 100 seconds to run
which seem very high.
on nextWeekday(wd)
set today to current date
set twd to weekday of today
if twd is wd then
set d to 7
else
set d to (7 + (wd - twd)) mod 7
end if
return today + (d * days)
end nextWeekday
on run argv
set nextFriday to nextWeekday(Friday)
tell application "Reminders"
set newLable to argv as string
set myList to list "Do."
tell myList
set newReminder to make new reminder
set name of newReminder to newLable
#set remind me date of newReminder to theDay
set allday due date of newReminder to nextFriday
end tell
end tell
end run
The code in the .bash_profile is as follows:
function reme() {
cd
cd /Users/jamieauburn/Documents/projects/reminder
osax reme.scpt $1
}
Have I got something wrong in the script?

Answer 1

You have a lot of unnecessary things here. Your script can be written much more compactly, and it becomes about 4 times faster.
on run argv
tell (current date) to set nextFriday to it + (6 - (its weekday)) * days
tell application "Reminders" to tell list "Do."
make new reminder with properties {name:(argv as string), allday due date:nextFriday}
end tell
end run
