Mike, either I'm not undersatnding what you are wanting to do, or you're not getting out of the manual what it is saying. If your server address space is the address space where the tasks or srb's will be paused, then there is no cost to transition, as the pause element is only being used in one address space. If you are going to use the pause element to pause in multiple address spaces, then the cost you will incurr will be in transitioning the ownership of the pause element from one address space to another. It's not something that accumulates, and grows. It's similar to a one time toll for using the service. Releasing the pause elements and re-acquiring them will do nothing to speed any processing of the pause and release function, as far as I know. Hope this helps.
