Found my problem!

For ADSM, we installed a new 3590 tape drive (for a total of 4). Strangely,
all "write" operations (Daily copypool copies, DBBs etc) worked fine on the
new tape drive.

When a Tape Reclamation job used this new tape, through put was only a
couple of gigs a day! We put this tape drive offline, and restarted this
job, and tape reclamation job ran in less than 2 hours for 12 tapes...

Sometimes it not software, but hardware...

Just thought I'd let you know!
