Even more interesting, addressing the keys of the array by string name 
rather than integer key location, doesn't increase the time appreciably 
(then again, I imagine even the element location is a string in 
Transcript.) -

Props: 281
Vars: 13
Array: 153 Keys: 10000

-------------------------------
on mouseUp
   put 10000 into N
   --
   put the millisecs into s
   repeat n
     set the uTest of this stack to "hello world"
     get the uTest of this stack
   end repeat
   put the millisecs - s into s1

   --
   put the millisecs into s
   repeat n
     put "Hello World" into tMyVar
     get tMyVar
   end repeat
   put the millisecs - s into s2
   --
   put the milliSecs into s
   repeat with i = 1 to n
     put "Hello world" into tMyVar["Hello" & i]
     get tMyVar["Hello"& i]
   end repeat
   put the milliSecs - s into s3
   put the number lines in the keys of tMyVar into tKeyNum


   put "Props: "&s1 &cr& "Vars: "& s2 &CR& "Array: " & s3 && "Keys: " & 
tKeyNum
end mouseUp
