That a tricky question: 
VLF writes SMF 41 records, but they are unusable for LLA. Since LLA manages its 
VLF cache and knows what is in it and what is not, it will always have a 100% 
hitratio on its VLF cache, which will be reported by VLF records 41.
Via LLA exits 1 and 2, we write SMF records with useful LLA information and 
these records provide how many fetches LLA does from its VLF cache and how many 
from disk. From that ratio, we decide if the VLF cache is sufficient or not.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what SMF records? Of course I have looked in 
my SMF book, but must have missed something obvious or used wrong search 
arguments.

Thanks in advance.

Ok if you say so. Could that part of MFM not be included in Health Checker so 
we all can see what sizes are recommended?
