That's interesting, Harry. The biggest cause of out-of-mem is program
size, but your experience indicates that there may be additional
memory overhead associated with SUbs. Pushing a procedure that's
going to be called many times down into a SUb can speed up program
execution -- perhaps at the cost of greater memory usage(?). I could
see where the cost might outweigh the benefit if a program has so
many SUbs that it breaks the memory bank -- akin to "the operation
was a success, but the patient died".
