I didn't see a test for a CALLP of an EXTPGM vs CALLP of EXTPROC.

As you know, CALLP is not "call procedure" - it is "call prototyped" and
can either be to a program or a procedure.

I'd expect CALLP - EXTPGM to perform about the same as a regular CALL.
But I've not tried it.

I figured that I'd post performance numbers since the OP asked about
relative performance. I missed which relatives he was looking to
compare :-)

CALLP of an external program is just another form of CALL.

CALLP of a procedure is just another form of CALLB.

So really you were comparing CALL and CALLB.
