Weird performance issue

[Geoff Canyon]

Hmm, this is what "the stacks" returns for me:

/Users/gcanyon/Desktop/nav tester 0.004608

/Users/gcanyon/Documents/My LiveCode/Plugins/Navigator.rev 1.348666

Note the super long times for the dictionary, the inspector, and navigator,
the mediocre times for others, and the super fast time for the stack
actually running the code.

I'm on an M1 mac running 9.6.8
