I tend to agree with the OP. LLA will only check VLF for modules it previously 
cached. Granted there may be some trimming, but I don't ever recall seeing less 
than a 100% hit ratio for LLA. The other VLF exploiters behave differently and 
the SMF statistics for them tend to be helpful. The CSVLLIX1 exit is required 
for accurate LLA fetch statistics.

Correct, that is why you also see Deletes in the LLA VLF cache. If LLA has a 
module that qualifies for the cache, it can delete a module that does not 
qualify anymore to make room for the new one. Therefor you will see deletes and 
adds of modules caused by LLA management of the cache, and hardly any trims 
caused by VLF management of the cache.
The other exploiters push 'everything' into the cache and will find out later 
if the object is still there. VLF hitratio and trim statistics are indeed 
useful here.
