There is less overhead in a GOSUB than a CALL, and there is less overhead in 
CALLing the same prc table over and over as compared to CALLing different 
prc tables.

Whether the overhead in CALL as compared to GOSUB is significant depends on 
how often it's called and what the rest of the processing does.
