One more advantage of using different subpools is that you can free up all  
the storage in any given subpool by only one STORAGE (or FREEMAIN) macro.   If 
you use different subpools for different purposes, you could free up all the  
storage used for purpose X by doing one FREEMAIN-type macro, whereas if you 
used  subpool 0 for all storage, then you would need multiple FREEMAIN-type 
macros,  each of which frees up only one piece of storage in that subpool.
