Putting table bits and pieces together

Hi all,

I have a lot of table bits and pieces with (continued) tacked at each bit, so I can keep table sections related to game logic together with its related code and data.

Now the question I have: Does this have performance impact, i.e. should I manually gather those bits and pieces together and put them into one big table or is the Inform7 compiler already doing this at compile time? 16.18 of the manual ( WI 16. Tables (zedlopez.github.io)) only says “it allows us to split the table between different parts of the source text, if we want to, or to continue a table which exists only in an extension” but says nothing about performance impact of doing so.

The compiler does it at compile time.
