Upgrade to 5.2 - strange occurances?

Perhaps they are alien only to me but here are some things that have occurred following a release upgrade from 4.3 to 4.5 - then from 4.5 to 5.2 - all in the same weekend:

1. After running a save entire system command following 5.2 installation, the QSTRUP program did NOT appear to fire up...which, I am being told, it should have. Our sysval is set to QSTRUP.QGPL (thought I'd bring back old 38 syntax for a laugh)...and that object does not appear to have been touched for months.

2. there seems to be noticeable performance issues in our application software AND, it appears, with PDM access as well. Some interractive application menu options are taking up to 5x longer to engage - only on the initial time in! Then, it is fine.

There are no messages that I can see about access path rebuilds...the system memory and pool configuration looks basically the same save for a meg or 2 difference.

We are NOT using access groups (meaning we are using the IBM default all the time)...could there be some "object recognition" on the first engagement to "correct" the usage of the dreaded "default access group" associated with the object (if there is even such an association captured in the template)? My knowledge of how the access groups work specifically are admittedly scant so this theory is 1000% guess work and may, in fact, have no legitimacy whatsoever.

We just do not understand why we are experiencing this performance problem.

3. Are there any other "gotchas" to keep a groggy eye on?

Thanks to all.
