Mar 26, 2012 at 0:11 comment added Oleksandr R. As of version 7, one may use On["Packing"] as an alternative to SetSystemOptions[PackedArrayOptions->UnpackMessage->True]. Also, AppendTo will not be appreciably faster for packed arrays in most cases because the great bulk of its runtime consists of copying the array. At least this is done without unpacking unless absolutely necessary (therefore probably using optimized memcpy).
