>> I was taught that when calling the same program multiple times it was
more efficient to put it in a subroutine.  Is this correct?

Depends on the definition of "efficient" I guess.

Certainly not in terms of performance - it would be slightly slower.

It will generate a few less instructions but nothing that would make any
difference.

I can't even think of any historical reasons why this "lesson" would ever
have been true.
