That is not exactly the test he was looking for. He wants to compare retrieving
an array from a script local variable vs. getting a property of an object like
a stack, that contains the same array. At least I think that is the question.
Now I’d like to discuss virtual properties. It takes the
Laziness in the last post.
BOTH took 10 mS to fill an ordinary variable.

time to place into a field.
The only time that took a while was building them. Each took 10 milliseconds.

Bob,
Thank you. I could script a timing test but sometime just asking the

Which is faster or more efficient (from an engine performance perspective)?
To retrieve an array from a property?
As in:
command someHandler -- in an objects script
get the cMyArray from me -- cMyArray is some multi-dimensional array
...
end someHandler
OR

As I was looking into htmx (which is basically going in the opposite
direction to that which Livecode is taking with WASM), I discovered the
author of htmx has also implemented a kind of hypertalk in the browser (the
point being to more simply hook into DOM events).
It looks rather ugly IMO
