Obviously a nit-pick and I knew that when I posted it. Hence the LOL. But a 
shop might write 100 million SMF records a day. These instructions will get 
exercised for most (IEFU83) of them. Even one cycle per tends to add up. I have 
had to learn the new way of thinking: instructions don't count; storage 
references count. An unneeded reference to storage is potentially very wasteful 
of cycles.

Nitpick! I suppose it was for uniformed compares. How many cycles would a CLI 
save?
