You said it pretty well actually. If they can't understand that, then you have bigger problems :)

Subj:Bind by reference doesn't mean dynamic call?

Having a problem explaining to colleagues in a world without service programs that using them does not mean dynamic calls and thus poor performance.

If I understand correctly, the first call is akin to being dynamic, but afterwards the link between program and service program is static and therefore as fast as a module bound by copy.

Anyone help me out in simple English?

Thanks
