Yes - quite definitely.

What I've wished for for decades is that if there is just one repeated line, 
they not do the "same as above" processing. The message saves no space and just 
distracts from the flow when reading.

Tony,

Could IBM have done this way back in the days of chain printers to speed up 
printing?  Waiting for the chains to spin around just to print a bunch of zeros 
would take longer than printing "same as above".
