Re: CallP Versus Program 'CALL'

Buck,

You missed what seemed to me to be the most important takeaway - that
*both*types of call (procedure vs. program) are very,
*very* fast. To the point that unless you're talking about performing tens
of thousands of calls, it probably doesn't matter much *performance-wise* which
you do. At which point, you realize that performance is maybe less
important than maintainability, flexibility and coolness.
