 >> If your code never gets data from external sources and never counts
higher than the 4b limit, then sure, 4b is fine.

There is of course still a performance issue with the B data type - it is
_very_ inefficient because RPG "messes" with B type values.  I on the other
hand is processed as-is.  See this reference if you want to know more.
