OK to pass big data in 'the result'?

Is anyone aware of any drawbacks in using 'the result' as a container for
passing, say, a bunch of records from one handler to another? Like this:
on processRecords
getRecords
put the result into tRecordList
repeat for each line tLine in it
-- your code here
end repeat
end processRecords
on getRecords
put the uBigList of stack "XYZ" into tList
delete stack "XYZ" -- to remove it from memory
return tList
end getRecords
Any drawbacks? Speed or memory or other issues?
I realize there are clearer, cleaner ways to do this... in a new dev (read
"perfect") world at least. But I'm not in that world at the moment.
Thanks -
