Re: Restoring SAVF from RISC to CISC... Darned slow!

This is to be expected if the restore contains any program/module/etc
type objects.  These must be retranslated from RISC to CISC.  This
process takes somewhat less time than just recompiling the source on
the CISC machine (alledgedly around 85% of the compile time).

Specifying a target release of V3R2 does not make the RISC compiler
output object code with the CISC instruction stream.  It does ensure
the program is restorable to a V3R2 environment.

To skip the object conversion process during the restore, check out
the FRCOBJCVN() keyword help text on the restore object command.  This
lets you delay the conversion until a later time.  

Depending on your environment, you may want to do this then either let
the object(s) convert upon first use, or use the STROBJCVN command to
batch convert the objects.
