There are many ways to improve I/O for sequential files. My own experience suggests that the use of BUFNO= and NCP= is exiguous and should not be.
Comparison shopping is unlikely to be helpful. These problems need to be addressed directly taking low-level measurements: To be told that one has lost a chess game does not much help improve one's game. Why, anyway, is the umlaut in 'för' being perpetuated?
