If you can make it, attend one of Terry's Schussler's advanced seminars--he 
covers optimization pretty thoroughly, I've heard (I'm going myself on Monday).

A couple of things:

A property list is usually faster to access than a linear list
Sorted lists might speed access, but will probably slow down on adding items
Store repeated member references, e.g.:

myMember = member("someMath")
repeat with i = 1 to 100
    put string(i) after myMember
    -- that's faster than put string(i) after member("someMath")
end repeat

Same thing with sprite references, especially if you're going to access 
sprite properties repeatedly.

HTH.
