Are you in a large shop now? How busy are your processors? In our shop (where we like to run all the processors close to 100% all day), putting SMF dumps at the bottom of the totem pole would never work. You have to be able to dump them faster than they fill up. We just had a recent thread on that. I don't have them in SYSSTC, but they are IMP=2. At one of my former clients (that produced even more SMF data than we do) we ran the dumps in a service class with IMP=1.
