Hello Dan;
If you are saying that when an optimization results in a result smaller
than what ": would give, you use the optimized string, something an
APLer, like me, who remembers 1200 baud as lightning fast, would
appreciate, my intuition said that wasn't the case in the instances I
was using. An actual test would confirm or refute this, of course.

If you were trying distribute a J application by running multiple concurrent instances of J. and using sockets for IPC, you'd appreciate the difference between sending:
5!:5{.;:'A'
29+14.5*i.1000000
and
":A
29 43.5 58 72.5 87 101.5 116 130.5 145 159.5 174 188.5 203 217.5 232
246.5 261 275.5 290 304.5 319 333.5 348 362.5 377 391.5 406 420.5 435 449.5 464
478.5 493 507.5 522 536.5 551 565.5 580 594.5 609 623.5 638 652.5 667 681.5 696
710.5 725 739.5 754 768.5 7...
I know I did.
