True enough. If it is one record, then rekey may be an option. If it is
one hundred, a thousand, tens of thousands? I had a client on V2R3 on an
F02. NOT fast. But that did not stop a wayward program from generating
198,000 AR records for a single customer in the blink of an eye. 

Journalling was not just an option then.
