Interaction with Applescript and iCal

Question

I am trying to write AppleScript for an iCal request and find all the events that I have for a given date in any calendar.

I started writing a simple script that does something simple with every event on this calendar:

tell application "iCal"
  tell calendar "Reuniones"
    set the_events to every event
    repeat with an_event in the_events
        -- do something with every event
        set value to summary of an_event
    end repeat
   end tell
end tell

However, this simple script takes a lot of time to execute (a few seconds), even if I am not doing anything complicated inside the loop. I am afraid that a real script will really take a long time to execute.

I am not very familiar with Applescript, and I believe I am doing something stupid that has serious performance implications.

        repeat with current_event in theEvents
            set out to out & summary of current_event & "\n"
        end repeat
    end repeat
    return out
end tell
