I found that putting debug information in a program would about double a
program size.  The difference between *source and *all was minimal so if I
was debugging I would do *all.

Wow.  I just wrote two ten line programs that initialize a one byte
character variable ten times.

The RPGIII program compiled *srcdbg is 49152 bytes, compiled vanilla 40960
bytes.  The RPGIV program compiled debug view *all is 98304 bytes.

Sounds like something that you can't ignore completely.  OTOH, what we do
with in house mailing list processing has a more dramatic effect on disk use
than the proverbial infinite number of monkeys, uh programmers, could have.
