Alex beat me to it. That combination should be much faster.

In addition, you're losing much of the speed of the "repeat for each"
loops by embedding a "repeat with" loop at the deepest level (and in
addition you're making an unneccsary extra copy of tLine each time
through the slowest loop):

repeat for each line tLine in TempPerms1
  repeat with y = Index down to 1
    put tLine into Temp
    put newElement & comma before item y of temp
    put Temp & cr after TempPerms5
  end repeat
end repeat

Something like this should be faster (do this for both upper and lower
halves):

repeat for each line tLine in TempPerms1
  repeat for each item tItem in tLine
    put tItem & comma after TempPerms5
  end repeat
  put cr into char -1 of TempPerms5
end repeat
