There's a known bug, dating back into the darkest pre-history of
AppleScript, that when you append to a list this way, AppleScript ends
up copying the list anyway, so what looks like an O(N) loop is
actually O(N^2). The standard hack for working around it and getting
the expected O(N) performance is to make the list a property of the
script rather than a local variable of the handler:
Guess what! It makes the script even worse! Seconds elapsed: 5238!
