Bob,

Thank you. I could script a timing test but sometime just asking the list or forums is easier. You asnwered well before I would have had the time to write a basic test script. Thanks!

I think the confusion comes from thinking so much of a stack as an object that 
has substance, when really all the properties are places in memory just like a 
memory variable is. I asked this some years back and the answer I got was that 
there is no appreciable difference.

One could always devise a test though…

Which is faster or more efficient (from an engine performance perspective)?

To retrieve an array from a property?
As in:
command someHandler -- in an objects script
   get the cMyArray from me -- cMyArray is some multi-dimensional array
   ...
end someHandler

OR

To retrieve an array from a script local variable?
As in:
local sMyArray -- script local variable in some objects script

command someHandler -- in an objects script
   get sMyArray
   ...
end someHandler

Anyone know?
