        I'm not arguing the point, but with a named activation group I
lose the
        automatic cleanup of subprocedures which was my primary reason
for going to
        *NEW in the first place.  The second time I invoke a program in
a named
        activation group, all its subprograms will still be hanging
around.  That
        is, of course, unless I do a RCLACTGRP on the named activation
group, but
        I'm betting the 30% speed increase only works when you don't do
a reclaim.
        Or did the little chart explicitly contradict that assumption?
