You know, all of these scripts are pretty darn fast. We're talking about a
difference of fractions of a second over hundreds of iterations. In the
old days, some of these tests have taken appleScript hours to do. I've run
versions of the fastest doing 100,000s of repetitions, in a few seconds.
So, if this were my script, I'd probably go with whatever seemed the
easiest or most useful. That's why I like your lookup table the best. You
could maintain the lists in a numbers or excel document (or even a text
file). And save it as a tab-demited file that the script would import on
run. That means users would be able to maintain their own tables, without
ever having to open the script.
Plus, it seems in most tests it's the fastest, but I doubt that the speed
advantage would be noticeable to most users in most situations.
