You've said that repeatedly. I'm not sure I understand.
Obviuosly:
X = 'A'
will outperform:
X = translate( 'a' )
... but that's pretty trivial.
A colleague once tested and found that for string comparisons:
if A==B ...
slightly outperforms:
if A=B ...
The semantics are different, but often acceptable;
sometimes preferable. I always test:
if RC==0 ...
Someone once claimed that by some optimization, Rexx
performs better with single-character symbols than with
multi-character symbols, perhaps more so than could be
explained by lexical analyzer overhead.
