I redid some time trials for DTACPR on SAVOBJ. I took a 26GB data file
and saved it to a save file. Timed it and checked the size of the save
file upon completion.

Object Size Time
datafile 26,811,564,032
*NO 29,963,624,448 06:17
*MEDIUM 4,843,528,192 15:44
*HIGH 4,844,969,984 28:57
Why use *HIGH if it makes a bigger save file (freshly created) and takes
significantly longer than *MEDIUM? No, I didn't do anything different
like save access paths on one and not the other. The data only gets
updated once a week and today is not the day. Does anyone at IBM check
these? Is it different for different objects, like journal receivers or
management collections, versus files?
