Everyone is timing this puzzle but no one is saying what machine
they are using. Mr Fuller's 30 seconds is 53 seconds on my G5.
On my G5 2 x 2 GHz under Mac OS X 10.4.11, it required 31 seconds.
In fact what is interesting here, from my point of view, is that 1 is
a text item while other digits aren't.

And this cuts it down to 30 sec ...
set startTime to (current date)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"1"}
set counter to 0
repeat with i from 0 to 999999
set counter to (counter + (count (text items of (i as text))) - 1)
end repeat
(current date) - startTime
display dialog (counter as text) & return & the result & " sec"
