 This verb takes it's name from the "idle" handler in a compiled applescript. It can be used to re-execute a global script very quickly or continually without having to clog up the schedule events window. Scheduled events only have a granularity of 1 second anyway, but if you wanted something to run faster than that you'd need to use this. This verb can be called from anywhere. This is considered an advanced scripting topic and you should use the "execute script" verb whenever possible as opposed to this. This verb takes it's name from the "idle" handler in a compiled applescript.
