Hi Scott!
Once again I opened my yap and made it worse.

Your benchmarks use very little storage.  That is, the called program
doesn't have to initialise anything.  In a more typical RPG environment,
there are files to be opened, variables to initialise and so forth.

My original comment was based on practical experience with large-ish RPG
programs in the CISC days.  Looking at your numbers (again!) makes me
realise I should probably build some test jigs and get more modern numbers
before I muddle the issue more.  I have no *NEW programs that I can quickly
run tests on.
