Hi Gary,

Yes, "always on instrumentation" was added to the client in 7.1.6. This
change is documented here:

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.6/client/r_new_for_version.html

Note that instrumentation is of negligible (near zero) impact to
performance. Having it enabled by default means that if you need to
troubleshoot client related performance issues, there is no need to turn on
special test flags to get the client instrumentation, as it is always
available.

Best regards,

Andy
