I agree. The only time I've seen any improvement of any kind using "per 
SSID" cloning was in a rare instances where I needed to run two clone jobs 
simultaneously, reading from tapes where the potential for device 
contention existed (due to overlapping savesets between tape "groups"). I 
carefully ordered the SSIDs to avoid tape unnecessary load/unloads, as 
much as I could. And, any improvement realized was solely from reducing 
volume contention, not due to anything else.

Plus, it was a HIGHLY manual process (i.e., figuring out the best order) 
for a specific condition... not something I'd do normally. :-)
