Accelerated mode disabled in script execution

Hello!
I have noticed a terrible bug that I run some scripts, I notice very slow, you can even count each step of the script. I checked in the drop-down menu in the item "PlayBack Options" in the action pallet that the performance is not in accelerated mode, it changes options automatically. Has anyone experienced this problem?

Add code to force acceleration:

function setActionToAcc(){
	var idsetd = charIDToTypeID( "setd" );
		var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
		var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
			var ref2 = new ActionReference();
			var idPrpr = charIDToTypeID( "Prpr" );
			var idPbkO = charIDToTypeID( "PbkO" );
			ref2.putProperty( idPrpr, idPbkO );
			var idcapp = charIDToTypeID( "capp" );
			var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
			var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
			ref2.putEnumerated( idcapp, idOrdn, idTrgt );
		desc3.putReference( idnull, ref2 );
		var idT = charIDToTypeID( "T   " );
			var desc4 = new ActionDescriptor();
			var idperformance = stringIDToTypeID( "performance" );
			var idperformance = stringIDToTypeID( "performance" );
			var idaccelerated = stringIDToTypeID( "accelerated" );
			desc4.putEnumerated( idperformance, idperformance, idaccelerated );
		var idPbkO = charIDToTypeID( "PbkO" );
		desc3.putObject( idT, idPbkO, desc4 );
	executeAction( idsetd, desc3, DialogModes.NO );
}//end function

        The pragmatic solution would be to just set the first step to set the playback options to accelerated.

          The strange thing is that this happens with some scripts, I am not using actions.

          Then the script is using Action manager code to set the Action Palette's Playback option to Step by Step. Add chuck function to that script and add a new last line of code to the script

           

          setActionToAcc();

           

          The question you first need to answer is: Why is the script setting the Action Palettes Playback option to Step by Step?

          That Fly-out menu is for Actions not scripts. What version of Photoshop are you having problems with Action performance that the playback option is automatically switching to step by step.  It should not change to step by step check that no step in the action you are play is changing the playback option. that step would look like this actions step.  Something you are usig is most likely changing the action palette's playback option.
