Ways to speed up script when saving reports as images

Question

I have a script that iterates through hundreds of CSV files and for each file it draws a report and saves it as an image to use later (in PowerPoint presentation or HTML page). I have suspicion that merely opening new window and *displaying* the report takes a lot of resources. Since there is noone to look at the window while it's showing - is there nay way to NOT display a window but instead just save it into an image file?

dt = open("$sample_data/big class.jmp");

bb = borderbox(
	dt << Distribution(
		Continuous Distribution( Column( :weight ) ),
		Nominal Distribution( Column( :age ) )
	)
);

bb<<savepicture("$temp/dist.png");

newwindow("png", newimage("$temp/dist.png"));
