The reason we open hidden windows is so the user won't see the screen flickering. Even in Pro/Advanced the more windows you open the more you slow your process down. Log script run times and see if you see any difference.  Go to a layout, perform the required tasks then go back to the original layout.

Using "fmserver" as an account for running the script helps when you need to disconnect the user if the script hangs. Therefore it's good practice to have both. I do have that in my opening script.
