I wonder if it has to do with record blocking?  As I understand it,
each time your code executes a READE, if you have blocking turned on,
you read a block of records.  Even if the one you were looking for was
in the previous block, and in memory.  Of course, you can turn
blocking off in these cases, but you would still have to go out to
disk for each READE.  With READ, you can make use of record blocking.
