Re: % temp addresses climbing

["Alan Cassidy" <acassidy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Rob,

It is a RISC machine, S20, at V4R3. "% temp addresses" now stands at (.163).
BTW, the "%perm addresses" value is at (.010).

But even if that figure is nowhere near bad, it makes me a little queasy
that it keeps going up. Maybe that's a carryover from CISC days and previous
machines. But... And I'm not clear on the concept of what it is..
