That mnemonic would be "JMP" on x86. At address 5 in the PSP is the CP/M-style syscall entry point, it is not advised to not use it because it relies on the A20 line being short-circuited to zero, which cannot be relied on in later MS-DOS versions.
I don't see why this would be faster than using RET directly and having the INT 20 opcode at address 0 do the work.
