The RPG BIF will in all probability resolve down the to the same set of instructions as the MI. Remember MI != hardware instruction. In many cases when an MI built-in is coded in a C program the compiler replaces it with equivalent in-line instructions. The callable MI function is only there to fulfill C's need to be able to take a pointer to any function. But that callable function will rarely be used by a compiled C program. The RPG BIF almost certainly goes to the same underlying machine instructions.
