Too many 01 levels?

I have heard in the past that you should code as few 01 levels in a COBOL module as possible as they take up memory even if there isn't a great deal of data underneath them. Is this truth or myth?

I have searched the forum and googled around but can't find a good answer.

I have a module that needs tuning and it has 01 levels for EVERYTHING. Every switch is its own 01 level.

I think this explains why it used to be true, but no longer is.
