Nested Loop becomes slow

Hello I have some nested loop to display files and form menu item.

The part of the code is below.

I found that after runnining the script for a while the display becomes very slow.

Does ksh shell provided any easy way to release variables, reinit, etc.

while [[ $MENU_OPTION == "N" ]];do

script=0
town[0]="Start"

#Loop to display Menu Item
#
READ_OPTION="N"
while [[ $READ_OPTION == "N" ]];do
i=0
#Menu Item
clear
for file in `ls x*.txt`; do
{
((i=i+1))

town[$i]=$file
menuitem=$(print ${town[$i]} | sed -e "s/\_/ /g")
mitem=$(print $menuitem | sed -e "s/\.txt/ /g")
if (($i<10)) then
print " \c"
fi
echo "$i ":" $mitem "
}
done
...
done
...
