REXX compiling / EXECLOAD

[Don Russell]

Is there any performance benefit to compiling a REXX EXEC if it will be 
EXECLOAD'd for the lifetime of it's use?

For example, I have a service machine which, upon startup, EXECLOADs 
some EXECs it needs over and over. It/they remain EXECLOADd until the 
service machine is shutdown. The EXEC is not particularly complex/large, 
but does compiling it actually make any difference? Does EXECLOAD 
tokenize/optimize the EXEC if it's not compiled?

Thank you,
Don Russell
