The Z80 has a relative jump. Teenage me was loading a hand-assembled search function as an initialised array of integers in Basic, and relative jumps didn't need to be adjusted for the load location, which reduced the amount of post-load adjusting of addresses. It was +100x faster than Basic, just a straight scan.
