It *sounds* like your concern is likely "Load Time" (i/o time
to load SAS from disk to memory).

Assuming for a moment that your application stratgy of
repeatedly initializing SAS is necessary (sounds dubious),
the issue -could- be installation of SAS as re-entrant code?

Can HP/UX SAS be installed as a common (perpetually memory-
resident) image? If so, does your system have sufficient
internal storage and would the sysadmin's be willing to
consider such??

Just random thoughts ...
