That's the kind of recommendation one usually gets only as a circumvention.
The performance problem is conspicuously real, and Tivoli should be providing
a fix for it, as the client software should never have gotten out in that
condition, given proper testing.  At a minimum there should be an advisory in
the client Readme file about the problem, but I see nothing there.  This is
not being handled well.
