Because when I tried a million for the customproperties I thought I  
was going to have to restart my machine, Rev seemed completely locked  
up. What Jackie just said about reading one property instead of all of  
them, and getting timings of 503 and 238 is fair enough, it shows that  
reading one customproperty can be a little bit faster than reading a  
field. Even on her slower machine we're still only talking about 8.3  
microseconds to read a field.

The idea was to find a way to play pre-stored MIDI. That would only  
involved getting the value of the field, except for the day during  
production when you stored the data, when you would have taken the  
extra few milliseconds to do the storing.

My original script only had a putting part to it so that it was easy  
to test on any .MID file on your drive.
