Now I am curious. Did the optimization handle that better because it was
a constant and just changed it to a multiplication? Or did it perform
some other wizardry? In other words, if I had done a
x=MyParm; // where MyParm was passed in as a decimal with a value of 10000
y=MyOtherParm; // where MyOtherParm was passed in as a decimal with a
value of .00001
ts1=%timestamp();
for z=1 to 1000000;
q=SomeNumber/x;
endFor;
ts2=%timestamp();
for z=1 to 1000000;
q=SomeNumber * y;
endFor;
ts3=%timestamp();

I wonder what the results would be?
