I don't think the number of address spaces in a subsystem matters too 
much. What's eating me, though, is the numbers of Db2 subsystems. Recent 
"social circle" includes 135, 80, and several at 50+.

I suppose, though, the multiplier - MSTR+IRLM+DIST+DBM1+optionals x 
#subsystems - is the killer.

(Right now I'm working with a customer multi-tenant SAP/Db2 plus legacy 
which is kinda interesting as each SAP application has, as is well known, 
it's own Db2s (often several).)

IMS DB/DC was MVS. The DC part was never available on DOS/VS or VSE, the
interface was CICS on the VSE platform. So DL/I was the data management
layer and the APIs / Call interface were almost identical on both VSE and
MVS.

As a PL/1 jockey in the 1970's at IBM we coded mainly batch IMS (Call
PLITODLI).

A few years later I was coding IMS DB and BMPs. A few years later I was in
a full on IMS DB/DC shop.

IBM recycled the log manager of IMS into DB2 and MQ seems to have very
similar topology.

Why DB2 has so many address spaces is probably because of the IMS 
heritage.
Other (simpler but equally effective DBMS) manage on a single address
space....I wish...
