Surprising comments coming from someone who has spent years in the
area of performance.
Mark,
Shirley you've come across people like Ted before? I'm surrounded by
them. Things are only problems if they perceive them first. It's both
frustrating and amusing when, a week or so later, they "discover" the
very same issue (all by themselves) and deem it to be a serious problem.
As for "MIP", I guess he's never heard of "poetic license".

So you know my shop and how many times we execute IEBCOPY? Optimizing
a few lines of code doesn't matter either... unless you execute it
thousands of times.
