It's a drop in the bucket. But how large of a drop, how small of a bucket, how many drops are already in the bucket, and what happens when the bucket gets too full?
IMHO splits are just one of those things you try to be aware of and try to minimize. IIRC, splits are synchronous and may require exclusive access. But, with modern DASD, that still may not be much of an issue. Even so, drops avoided here and there tends to add up. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 5:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: 80-Column Minds >Having splits is rarely a performance hit, but taking one is. Define that hit. It doesn't take much, and how often does it happen vs the overall activity. We are scaring people, today, over 40-year old problems. Give us some evidence on the 'hit'.
