The static storage is the global variables declared in the module plus
any compiler-internal storage like file-information-blocks and other
control structures.  Initializing it takes time; the amount of time
depends on the amount and nature of the static storage.

It should be pretty easy to see if the extra time for unused srvpgms is
worth worrying about.
- Create two modules, MOD1 and MOD2 where MOD1 just has a RETURN, and
NOMAIN-MOD2 
  has bound calls or %PADDRs that would cause several service programs
to be bound in.  
- Create two *NEW programs: PGM1 with MOD1 and PGM2 with MOD1 and MOD2.  
- Call PGM1 and PGM2 in a couple of timed loops.  I think any extra time
for the PGM2 loop 
  can be chalked up to srvpgm-activation time.
