I assume you're perceiving a performance problem with this. Personally, I
wouldn't specify BUFSI, BUFSD, BUFNI nor BUFND. Let BLSR figure it out for
itself.
It is my experience that a micromanaged specification is obsoleted soon after
it's made. But if you must, use BUFNI and BUFND only.
I limit my interference with BLSR to one specification; DEFERW=YES
