Paul,

  I think you would be better off determining which access paths can be
shared (subsets of the other) and then sharing those access paths. Then
determining which Logical Files are not being used and delete them.  If
you think about it, each time a write is done to the physical file, you
have to go out and update those 250 logical file access paths.  That
takes a lot of time.

  While you might get some improvement with changing from 4Gb to 1TB as
the size, I think the number of logical files is the issue.

Pete
