Picol implements linear search for function name lookup. In a typical setup the host application and other scripts and plugins will register a lot of functions within the picol context which will make calling a proc (or fungw registered function) real slow having to go through a long list with linear search for each call. This gets worse when function calls are made from within a loop.
