Okay, I think I'm brain damaged -- nope, I figured it out

Here's mine again, but I like your benchmarks. I did this with a
single repeat loop rather than your nested one, but otherwise I think
we're testing the same thing. I didn't stress-test this the way you
did with large data clumps, so I think I'd trust your conclusions for
real-world applications.

on mouseUp
    local temp
    local s
    local accum
    
    put "XXX" into temp
    put the ticks into s
    repeat 1000000 -- yes, that's a million
        append temp, accum
    end repeat
    put the ticks - s into field 1
    answer length(accum)
end mouseUp

command append pNew, @pString
    put pNew after pString
end append
