Just to set a baseline, I edited my Fibonacci shortcut to exclude any optimizations. The timing result was 130 milliseconds, which is only a bit slower than the two-shortcut solution. I guess the bottom line is to test and use whatever works best.

Another optimization approach is to limit the number of repeat loops to the exact number required. Google AI provided a formula that works with my Fibonacci shortcut, and the timing results (in milliseconds) are shown below. The new shortcut is not limited in the size of the maximum number.
| Max Number | Old Shortcut | New Shortcut |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 126 | 42 |
| 100 | 127 | 64 |
| 1000 | 127 | 85 |
| 10000 | 126 | 105 |
| 100000 | 127 | 125 |
| 1000000 | 127 | 140 |
The following screenshot only shows a portion of the shortcut.

I rewrote the shortcut mentioned above to use a Text action instead of a Dictionary action to store the window data (position and size). This isn’t any faster but seems a simpler approach to enter the window data.

The following is a helper shortcut that can be used to get the window data for use in the App Arrange shortcut. For a simple task, it does too much, but I wanted to test solutions to a few items (like the off-center stuff).
