I don't  know if this is a decent test, but this is what I got:
fld 1 contains 1000000 lines, each line consisting simply of "1".
--fld access
on mouseUp
  set cursor to watch
  put the ticks into stTime
    repeat for each line L in fld 1
      put L into p
    end repeat
  put the ticks - stTime
end mouseUp
result - 77 ticks
--custom prop access
on mouseUp
  set cursor to watch
  set the pData of this cd to fld 1
  put the ticks into stTime
    repeat for each line L in the pData of this cd
      put L into p
    end repeat
  put the ticks - stTime
end mouseUp
result - 45 ticks
--var access
on mouseUp
  set cursor to watch
  put fld 1 into vData
  put the ticks into stTime
    repeat for each line L in vData
      put L into p
    end repeat
  put the ticks - stTime
end mouseUp
result - 45 ticks
Doesn't really look like orders of magnitude difference...is the test 
OK?

believe accessing a custom property is nearly as fast as a global, and
like globals are several orders of magnitude faster than field 
accesses.

Anyone care to run a set of benchmarks on the current engine to see how
that holds up today?
