It is true that 5.1 resource requirements for compilation [AND for binding] are greater, but the resulting program objects are measurably more efficient. Both residence time and resource usage are reduced.
In an engineering shop, in which compilations are often executed only a few times, this would be unfortunate. In a COBOL shop, in which execution is very much more frequent than compilation, it strikes the right balance.
