but you are saying that their is no performance difference between tag() and runScript()?

Both have performance problems. In some cases, tag() can be much worse.

@Isaiah_Clemons

creating custom properties with indirect tag bindings and then using those properties in the expression binding syntax?

That's almost verbatim what I wrote above.

@Isaiah_Clemons

explain a little more

It's complicated. I've written a great deal on this and related topics.

Start here:

Automation Professionals' Integration Toolkit Module

I don't know all the details of tag()'s problems, but I suspect there are two key contributors: tag() startup tries to supply a proper initial value, with a 1-second timeout, on startup everywhere it is used. Use a hundred tag() calls in the bindings on a Vision template or window and you can block your UI for up to a hundred seconds, looks like. Not sure how Perspective's parallelism fits here, but you'll either tie up a thread for a hundred seconds, or tie up a hundred threads from the Per…
