If it is ScriptingBridge that is slowing things down, then this sounds like perfect fodder for a bug report to Apple.

This code works, but it takes 15+ seconds to set up the link to InDesign (similar stuff with safari takes about 1 second, and in applescript or rb-appscript it takes about a tenth of a second for either InDesign or safari). 

I also tried SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.adobe.indesign"), and this was just the same. 

I can confirm the same problem with setting up a scripting bridge link to InDesign. In my experience rb-appscript is far superior to scripting bridge, it's a shame it can no longer be developed. Explained here:

I've never attempted to use macruby-appscript, but it might be worth trying?
