For all you HyperCard gurus out there, when is it faster to use
"unmark all cards" as opposed to:

    repeat with x = 1 to number of cards
      unmark card x
    end repeat

I seem to be having difficulty deciding which way to unmark cards
when I have 10 out of 800 mark as opposed to having 600 out of 800
marked. At what point is one way better than the other?
