Rob,
I use a 3rd party spoolfile archive product, which uses the IFS, 1.3 million objects.
My SAVSECDTA is only 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
100% SSD, saving to LTO7.

Subject: Extra long SAVSECDTA
Summary: SAVSECDTA jumped big time. How to resolve (if possible)?
We have an lpar which until recently was at this:
Total disk space on system in 1,000,000
bytes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 2153137
% of Size in

QTEMP libraries .00 25.50
TOTAL 99.91 2151215.31
At this time a vast majority of the IFS stuff was LARGE Domino archive email files and their DAOS attachments.

SAVSECDTA was under 2 minutes.
23:30:08 Starting SAVSECDTA to devices KDVLVTL.
23:31:49 All security objects saved.
23:31:50 Save security data (SAVSECDTA) complete.
Big project to store a lot more IFS stuff. As if 1.9TB of IFS wasn't enough.
All this new stuff was a large number of files. Basically the PC data directories of former associates. Individual file sizes vary greatly.
Added more disk to prep for this.
Now the system is at:
Total disk space on system in 1,000,000
bytes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : 3980041
% of Size in
Description Disk 1,000,000 bytes

QTEMP libraries .00 9.90
TOTAL 99.95 3978072.92
Basically just another TB of IFS and almost 2,000,000 more objects.

However the SAVSECDTA jumped from under 2 minutes to about an hour and a half. It was about twice that long until I removed the individual authority on the new files and replaced that with an authorization list.
Before Authorization list:
2:51:11 Starting SAVSECDTA to devices KDVLVTL.
5:42:58 All security objects saved.
5:42:59 Save security data (SAVSECDTA) complete.
After authorization list:
3:45:42 Starting SAVSECDTA to devices KDVLVTL.
5:18:09 All security objects saved.
5:18:11 Save security data (SAVSECDTA) complete.
