	Which process consumes more resources, or are they so close it doesn't
	matter: a process that has called $HIBER or a process that has called
	$WFLOR?

About the same.  Oddly enough, it is slightly faster to wake a process by
setting an event flag while it is in LEF state than by doing a $WAKE while it
is hibernating - but the difference is so small that designing on that basis
is silly:  The next code tweak in VMS is likely to change things.
