Well, amongst other things you have come up with your own method. The
above routine is not what I wrote, I used append and not addAt, and I
used repeat with x down to y, not repeat with x in y. If you time
this:
on mouseDown me
srcList = []
srcList[10000] = "smurf"
oldMs = the milliseconds
revList =[]
repeat with a = 10000 down to 1
append revList,srcList[a]
end repeat
put "Colin: " & the milliseconds - oldMs
end
you'll see that it's more than 20 times faster than what you claimed
that I wrote.
