I see a few things that you might want to change.  Here is a copy of my
dsm.sys file (notice the commethod line, the compression line===>you also
would want to turn compression to "client determine" on your client,
tcpnodelay, and tcpbuffsize)  (remember shardmem only works locally).  Hope
this helps

Servername       d26bk001sh
COMMMethod       SHAREdmem
SHMPort          1510
PASSWORDACCESS   Generate
Inclexcl         /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/inclexcl.txt
nodename         d26bk001
TXNBytelimit     25600
TCPWindow        64
SCHEDLOGName     /usr/lpp/adsm/bin/dsmsched.log
COMPression      OFF
tcpnodelay       YES
tcpbuffsize      32

Hi nolan,
        I think if it is just the initial stages then you might want to
wait
for a few days more than jump into any arbitrary changes. in our case I did
observe that the first backup after an upgrade does take a longer time.

sincere regards
sri
