This is a guess, but you can investigate it.
Look at the cache hit pct in "q db f=d". If it is less than 98% you should
increase the BUFPOOLSIZE (in dsmserv.opt on AIX, not sure about OS/390; you
need to restart the *SM server after changing the file).
We had 80% hits on one of our servers, increased the bufpoolsize from 8000K
to 32000K and got a fantastic improvement for cases where there were many
files.
