I'm not expecting performance improvement in real-time CA-1, but in some things like STK's scratch synchronization utility, or in CA's TMSDATA utility, which process the entire TMC. It's not a huge performance hit for us now, so this is kind of rhetorical.

I did report the issue and since then STK updated their sample JCL with a note to remove the specification if your TMS has blocked records. I know I've seen CA samples that had the same thing coded. We probably have some running but since they didn't abend they are probably still running that way.
