We talked about this off-list, and Nigel's way was faster, but I've
noted that this oddball double coercion is even faster, even when

less than a second this way.
set pathString to item 1 of theList as text

number in loops, making a new list and setting its end would be slightly

Yes, I didn't catch that I had 1 there instead of i. Of course the
index slows it down rather a lot. Copy and paste from test scripts
bit me in the butt yet again. Sigh.
On the other hand, I tried your posted script and it's the same
speed + or - 5%, depending on the run.
