Rob,
Are you using Save While Active for IFS?
I had issues with this years back.
IBM BRMS support determined that Save While Active does nothing for IFS saves, can actually cause them to be longer.
Reason being is there is no wait time for IFS objects, immediate.
IFS save gets the object if not locked, skips it immediately if locked.
SWA had no impact, only added overhead and time.
Paul

I suggest you try setting ASYNCBRING to *NO and see if that helps.
