Yvan's no doubt referring to the second edition. The first edition has some tips on pages 259-60. There's also a thread here:

But in any case, if you have a script that is slow to run, the first step is to profile it so you know what to spend time trying to speed up and what not to bother with (advice repeated in the above thread). The problem there is that it's tough to profile AS, especially given the lack of built-in support for high-resolution timestamps.

The loops are what you want to optimize.
What you really should get are some tools for timing milliseconds they are out there with some googling.

I looked at Matt's book and all I could find was a short section on loops.
A really efficient tip is the one upon list access (page 382).
My book, copyright 2003, doesn't seem to have anything about list access page 382.
