I have NOT tried it, but the thing that I expect WILL impact COBDFSYM is the

Being as small shop you probably have one disk subsystem and one drive
type for your production environment, so the drives will all perform the
same no matter what storage class attributes are assigned. However,
dataset striping can help, but you have to be selective about what
datasets you strip.

I have noticed a number of SVCR 0 entries (with no corresponding SVC 0) in
SYSTRACE, but not just after an ATTACH. I see them in connection with
traces of a problem with a TCB that has an active SVC table (TCBSVCA2).
The PSW NSI is the address of the routine for redriving the intercepted SVC.

"Batch Modernization" Redbook that's currently in review.
