Curiosity question.

Each night in the wee hours we create a test environment from a production library, thus:
SAVLIB PROD01 to QTEMP/SAVF
CLRLIB TST01
RSTLIB QTEMPSAVF to TST01

It runs in about 41-45 minutes.

Last night I had to do a (occasional) copy of T01 to T02. I did this:
CLRLIB T02
CPYLIB T01 to T02

It took 45 minutes. I figured creating T02 this way would be quite a bit faster than creating T01, but it wasn’t.

T01 was created about 3-3:45 am. T02 was created 4:30-5:15 am. There is really nothing else running at these times.

Any thoughts on why the CPYLIB approach is not faster? CPYLIB did seem to do a lot of index rebuilding (observed in a test during the day.) Maybe SAVLIB/RSTLIB is smarter about indexes and/or does more in parallel.
