One of the constant battles of software development is that in general there is a trade off between function and resource consumption. As DAF has grown in scope and functionality, it uses more resources. In addition, the systems that DAF reports on are creating a larger volume of SMF records. I am always looking at ways to optimize DAF. As an example, I have one save area now that all modules share and index into. DAF has many reusable pieces and having each obtain and release their own storage for a save area added alot of overhead. I have a couple of modules that are on my radar to optimize. Cheers...
