I think the reason for the first routine performing so badly was inefficient
programming technique. I had been appending the entire resultant sequence
together, say, 1500 * 12 appendations(including piecing of name strings
together) . But my second routine declared space first (in a manner of
speaking), ie:

sequence result
result=repeat({0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0},1500)

and then various direct assignments were made to it.
