Are both the assembler and COBOL version invoked the same way (i.e., regardless of which version of the program is chosen, are both either statically linked to the main program or are they link-edited as discrete load modules)?

The module has a lot of mathematic operations and calls a variable number of times to CSF to cipher, but there is NO ACCESS to FILES. It is coded as RENT in two languages. I was surprised with CPU consumption: Assm takes DOUBLE CPU than COBOL to perform the same work. I have reformatted all (as I know) the assembler eliminating pack operations and using registers and logical/binary operations as much as possible. I used a workarea provided by calling program to eliminate OBTAIN STORAGE .....but at the end... COBOL wins. has anyone any experience or suggestion about? Thanks a lot.
