When you lobbied for archiving software did you ever argue with $?
The purchase of software xyz for $A
Will make process B run C minutes shorter.
An alternative to making process B run C minutes shorter is buying 
additional hardware from IBM at a cost of $D?

Most people can't honestly come up with a vaue for C.  They just wing it. 
We had a gent here who used to piss away vast quantities of time clearing 
up item master records to make things run faster and to save disk space. 
Never could say how much faster, nor how much space he would save.

By the way, the size of the item master in question is 2.7MB or .000071% 
of disk space.  Rather reminds me of Barbara Morris example of some 
people's attempts to tune RPG coding can be compared to the fact that 
stepping on a step ladder does put you closer to the moon.
