Couple of Applescript questions....

I maintain a whitelist of people who can send me email and this all taken care of online at my email server but I also am keeping a copy of this list as an address in AddressBook. So far I've got 1136 cards in this group. My question is I want to do an add to list operation but only if the item isn't already on the list. In Applescript is this an expensive operation? The applescript dictionary for Address Book doesn't seem to offer this operation so I'd have to do a linear search before adding an entry to this list. I'm guessing this is expensive. Is there any way for this operation to be fast?

All contacts in this group have their Email's "other" set to their valid email address. No other contact field data is set. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
