Would make sense -- I would guess you have 2 disk reads to 'find' the Global Catalog - once test for the 'direct' entry in the VOC, and then the read to the Global?

That seems very odd to me, but global cataloguing probably came from PI, and was optimised to work fast on Primos (if you ran PI, you had special microcode in the CPU :-) I know Primes had blinding fast dynamic linking - okay their clocks are very slow by today's standards, but tick for tick they can knock x86 into a cocked hat. Changing topics within the thread, I much prefer Prime's condition handling (inherited from PL/1) to C++'s try/catch. But that's probably because it's not an OO type concept ...
