Can this be done faster ?

[Mark Smith]

on mouseUp
   put empty into cd fld 2
   wait 5 ticks
   put 0 into XX
   put cd fld 1 into listXX
   put the ticks into timer
   repeat for each line L in listXX
     put L into tLine
     put item 1 of tLine  into item 2 of tLine
     put tLine & cr after tList
   end repeat
   delete char -1 of tList
   put (the ticks - timer)/60
   put tList into cd fld 2
end mouseUp

How does this one stack up?

(on my sample data of 30000 lines "a,b,c,d", this took 60 milliseconds).

Best,

Mark
