In the absence of details, the List membership can only postulate what
factors may be at play...anything from tape seek delays to network
routing.  You'll have to assess the Archive vs. Retrieve statistics
and server Activity Log entries in conjunction with your knowledge of
the configuration there to gain more perspective on all contributing
factors.  One thing that's certain is that there's more overhead in
creating new files than in reading existing files - worse in some
operating systems than in others.  And, realize that MAXNUMMP is in
play at Archive time, but not Retrieve time.
