[SOLVED]Bad performance running a VBScript from within WebFOCUS

We've got a VBScript which retrieves information from Active Directory. The script works fine, but the problem is that while it takes some 30 - 45 seconds to run from the command prompt, it takes well over 1 hour! when running from WF.

It's not consuming

I've tried with a number of different ideas:
!script.vbs
CMD script.vbs
!batfile.cmd which invokes the vbs script
CMD cscript.exe script.vbs (the current version)

Has anybody have any idea what's going on?

We're on WF 7.6.10 on Win XP/2003.

I wonder if it is because of the agent getting small amounts of CPU.

Have you tried the SYSTEM function ?

I never managed to find a solution to the problem using VBScript. Instead I diverted to Python, which created the text fle in 1 second from within WebFOCUS. I'm still not sure what VBScript is doing behind the scenes, but I don't care anymore.
