There is an APAR that provides a new setting (KCINDEX=N) that you use (after the first time you start zosmf), that keeps the i/o's down to a much more reasonable level. Our clients that have small single frame systems (z13s, z14-rz1), find that it cuts the startup time by almost 40%.
The official IBM speak is: "With APAR PH06678, a new option "KCINDEX" is provided in IZUSVR. If "KCINDEX=N" is provided when starting IZUSVR, the embedded knowledge center will not build its index. As index is not rebuilt, startup time has 12% improvement. CPU usage has 24% improvement. I/O has 16% improvement. " Remember, the first time you start it though it's going to be slow because you can't use the KCINDEX=N until after that first time.
