The encryption of procedure division literals incurs a small fixed overhead at the start of processing when the values held in storage are unencrypted. In past cases this overhead has been less than 0.1% in batch programs and less than 2% for on-line transactions. If run-time performance at an external site is a high priority, literal encryption can be turned off using a user controlled flag. With literal encryption turned off, cloaking a program will have absolutely no impact on compile-time, run-time or CPU-time.
