Andreas:
Macromedia changed the way they handle lists internally between Director 7
and Director 8. I believe that it is risky to make performance assumptions
based on previous experiences with lists. Specifically, I have noticed
that smallish unsorted lists are now searched *faster* than sorted lists -
a distinct change from Director 7.
In my previous experiences with Director prior to v7, I found that items
were added to a sorted property list significantly *faster* than an
unsorted list.
I'm still researching what size or content unsorted list structures are
consistently faster than sorted lists by building empirical tests.

Terry
