Thanks for you response.

Unfortunately above script is slow.

Indirect access to a list is important for the performance.

on run
	set num_list to {}
	repeat with n from 1 to 1000
		set end of num_list to n
	end repeat

	script AScript
		property a_list : num_list
	end script

	set l to AScript's a_list -- this is the "get"
	set time1 to GetMilliSec
	repeat with ref_to_item in l
		if ref_to_item > 100 then
			set contents of ref_to_item to 3
		end if
	end repeat

	set time2 to GetMilliSec
	set l to a reference to AScript's a_list
	repeat with ref_to_item in l
		if ref_to_item > 100 then
			set contents of ref_to_item to 3
		end if
	end repeat

	set time3 to GetMilliSec
	{time2 - time1, time3 - time2} -- result : {343.0, 41.0} msec
end run
