I made a few changes that make a huge difference.  Mainly drag is much much
much faster than click at

on mouseUp
   select card image 1
   delete card image 1
   put 300 into XX
   put 300 into YY
   put 200 into RR
   choose brush tool
   set brush to 32
   set brushcolor to "blue"
   put -((pi/2)-(pi/584)) into Rad
   put 1.5*pi into dest -- don't calculate the loop destination each time
   put (2*pi)/584 into pi2 -- don't calculate the increment each time
   set lockmessages to true -- actually little difference
   repeat until Rad>=dest
     put XX+RR*cos (Rad) into x
     put YY+RR*sin (Rad) into y
     drag from x,y to x,y
     add pi2 to Rad
   end repeat
   set lockmessages to false
   choose browse tool
end mouseUp
