RE: external subprocedures setting on LR: performance impact?

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've worked in a one page or less per subroutine shop for a long time.  The
same standard applies to procedures.  It always made sense to me.  The idea
of modular programming is to break a process down into little independent
pieces so it's easy to change or extend.  An application with hundreds of
procedures would have a several hundred page listing, but it would still
have a several hundred page listing if it had five procedures. 


Apologies for the incoherent but vaguely foreboding trailer our mail server
appends to all messages.
