[symbolarray] does indeed take about half as much cpu as using the message box. It also takes exactly the same cpu as [makefilename %d-tab] which is much simpler and doesn't require an abstraction. But maybe you needed those specific names for the tables for some reason...
The m_symbolarray-abstraction is a convenience wrapper around
[element symarray symbols] | [get sym name]
which includes some logic to manage the array's content. [makefilename %d-tab] btw. cannot manage anything.
So [makefilename %d-tab] is doing something different. You should not use m_symbolarray to replace it. Only use a symbolic array, where you need it.
