I don't know for speed nor memory use, but I can tell you for
AppleScript syntax: the best is the first one. The second one won't
compile I'm afraid.
Well it would have to be 'end compute' not 'end to compute', and it
doesn't like direct objects. This will work, though:
tell me to triple for 7
to triple for this_data
3 * this_data
end triple
Does not work for labels in/of/given (i.e., direct objects), but
works for prepositions such as for/from/into/above/around, etc.
