I would guess you have run into a factor that is both a strength & weakness of xTalks like Revolution: there are ALWAYS multiple ways of doing things and some are much slower than others. If it is a one-off routine, it really doesn't matter how you go, but in a frequently repeated routine, there will almost certainly be ways of changing your scripts in order to speed it up.
If you check my web page <http://www.troz.net/rev/> you will find a stack listed near the bottom called "Speed.rev". It shows some of the common ways to speed up scripts and allows you to test the results on your own computer. Richard Gaskin at <http://fourthworld.com/rev/index.html> has a stack called RevBench that allows you to run timing tests on alternate scripts.

I ran my stack "OmniLotto" and generated 5000 random powerball games. Then
it ran. It .took over 30 minutes!!!
I saved the 5000 gamelist and ran it through my PERLotto perl script out to
"results.txt".
It took only 1 second!!!!!!!
What gives? Are my script routines way out of order? It certainly seems so!
GEEZ......... Day 5 (?) gonzo.
