You;d have to do do better than a performance issue. The code in
question modified an existing SMF exit to accomodate an IBM code
change by swapping two "Rx" EQU definitions instead of changing the
code: something like

 R5 EQU 7
 R7 EQU 5

>I may be able to top that. Somebody, who I guess started on a s/360,

The 360/85 was the first S/360 with the byte aligned operator feature. 
The code that you show was necessary unless you were running on a
360/85 or 360/195. So the question is whether you are talking about
legacy code or code written when he no longer had to support S/360.

>I'm fairly sure that doing an "unaligned" LH is a lot faster
