I don't think anyone has mentioned the white paper from Riaz Ahmad (IBM) WSC that detailed a customer situation with problems dealing with current volumes using MANx data sets and some WSC testing that emulated it.

The paper documents a case study for a customer environment which has difficult time keeping up with the SMF data recording to MANx data sets. This new facility provides a solution where SMF data can be recorded to the MVS Logger logstream instead of MANx data sets.
