Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I'm experiencing a bug where my AppleScript detecting the play state of iTunes/Spotify take forever to return from BTT, but when running the AppleScript independently it returns essentially instantly. Do you have any suggestions for why this might occur? Is there a way you suggest collecting this information which runs better with BTT? I'd be happy to send you my AppleScript over email if you'd like. Thanks!

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
Touch Bar

BTT just uses the system methods to run the Apple Script. However if you have multiple scripts that run continuously they will be queued, because only one can run at a time. Thus it may need to wait until the other scripts have finished.
