Hmmm, maybe 'Benchmark Obsessive Compulsive' ;-)

Using Richard's stack:

MBP 17" 2.16 GHz, 2GB RAM
OS X.6.2, Rev 4.0.0 Build 950

Number of iterations for read/write access: 5000
LockScreen = true
LockMessages = true

Results:
Visible field, current card: 	24
Hidden field, current card: 	22
Visible field, unopened card: 	13
Hidden field, unopened card: 	14
Custom property: 	4
Global variable: 	2
Local variable: 	1


Number of iterations for read/write access: 5000
LockScreen = false
LockMessages = false

Results:
Visible field, current card: 	2367
Hidden field, current card: 	2856
Visible field, unopened card: 	15
Hidden field, unopened card: 	14
Custom property: 	37
Global variable: 	2
Local variable: 	1


So very similar results.

Josh, we are waiting ???
