I often choose two-byte LBLs and the corresponding 3-byte GTOs because they are able to record their target address for longer jumps. You know that once a GTO has found the LBL it jumps to, this position is recorded within the GTO command ("compiled GTO") so that subsequent branches are executed much faster. Here the 3-byte-versions allow for longer jumps than their 2-byte counterparts, so just to be sure I prefer the former.

In this program two-byte GTOs (resp. single-byte LBLs) may be sufficient, at least in most cases. What makes me wonder is your remark that this speeded up the program slightly. I would have expected no change at best.
