here is a simple and fast method:
lst = Table[ If[ dat[[i]] == 1, 1, 0], {i, Length[dat]}]
(Your timing should now be under 0.1 second)

please, what is the best way to reduce the timing of the following lines,
the
source of data is:
dat = Table[Random[Integer, {0, 10}], {100000}];
and the purpose is to construct the List lst in the following way:
For[i = 1, i <= 100000,
If [dat[[i]] == 1,
lst = Join[lst, {1}], lst = Join[lst, {0}]]; i++]; // Timing
Out[]= {226.07 Second, Null}
on the P4 celeron 2 Ghz , memory 382 MB ram
thanks
