Andy,

It sounds like you are right on.  We had HUGE amounts of time being ate up
by SAVSECDTA, which in turn drives up the time of a SAVSYS.  Went from 5
minutes to 45 minutes!  IBM dialed in and it was private authorities.  Not
that I really understood private authorities.  Turns out that using
supplemental groups is something that can really drive up private
authorities.  In your user profile you can have 1 primary group profile
and numerous supplemental group profiles.  Turns out that one person tried
to be clever and implemented a technique from his old shop and started
using supplemental groups.  We've since abandoned that and are using
authorization lists.  Much cleaner.

Rich,

35-45 minutes sounds excessive for a system such as yours.  I'm used to
less than ten minutes (and usually less than five).  Do you make
extensive use of a complex scheme of private authorities in securing
objects on your system?  One way to check is to look at the object size
of your user profiles.  Even if you do, this still sounds too long.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
