Does the following change make the script faster or slower? (I don't know
where the command "the ticks" comes from, so am unable to check it here.)

set fullDeck to {}
repeat with s in {" of H", " of C", " of S", " of D"}
    repeat with x from 1 to 13
        set c to item x of "A234567890JQK"
        if c = "0" then set c to "10"
        set the end of fullDeck to c & s
    end repeat
end repeat
