IF (SELECT count(name) FROM sys.sysobjects WHERE (type = 'P') and name = 'SPNAME') > 0
BEGIN
ALTER PROCEDURE [spname] ----
END
ELSE BEGIN
CREATE PROCEDURE [spname] ----

I believe the CREATE or ALTER PROCEDURE needs to be the first SQL in a batch.
Try something like this:
IF (SELECT count(name) FROM sys.sysobjects WHERE (type = 'P') and name = 'SPNAME') > 0
DROP PROCEDURE [spname] ----
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [spname] ----
AS
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.

Thank you Dwain,
True what you say.
I was trying not to use DROP per various blogs herein. Since posting I have done it this way.
USE <dbname>
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
declare @s-2 VARCHAR (16), @a varchar (8), @b-2 varchar (MAX)
SET @s-2='SPname'
if object_id(@S,'P') is not null
begin
set @a='ALTER'
end
else begin
set @a='CREATE'
end
set @b-2 = ' PROCEDURE [dbo].[' + @s-2 + ']
<procedure script>'
SET @b-2=@A+@B
EXEC @b-2
