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?
