I believe we have discussed this before.
Usually it works out that by the time I spend 1-2 hours "OPTIMIZING" a program that will be used once. I could have run my part (albeit inefficiently) ate my lunch and cleaned out the chips.
So - if it don't work right - I just do it the way it will work and forget about it.
