We've got two machines which are identical in every way, same hardware, same 
AIX, same TSM level, same options set, same storage pools, domains, everything 
except one has the DB and Log on local disk.  On this box things run very 
slowly: expiration may take a week, filespace deletion creeps, and we see this 
as the normal behavior

All of the operations you describe above involve database and log transactions. 
Since you've eliminated everything else, I would suspect you've got substandard 
local disk (or possibly a corrupt database).

Since correcting a possible database issue will take a good deal of time and 
effort, have you given thought to trying something easier, such as putting the 
dbvols and logvols on SAN- or iSCSI-attached disk?
