Speed up batch scripts

Question

Im writting scipts to edit thousands of files so looking for ways in which i can improve them so they are faster or at least allow you to continue working while they run in the background.
My ideas are perhaps opening the files in the background without displaying them or disabling focus in illustrator so it doesnt keep grabbing your focus each time it loads a new image.
I'd also apreciate any other way to do what I want.
Thanks in advance.

There are no methods for running a process in Illustrator in the background… You may be able to get around this with something at your OS level on the mac change user account or use spaces etc… I think the only thing you can do with script is NOT redraw()
