That's the way PDS's work. Bigger directory more connect time. Member access is trivial.

A user is running a job that is reading a large parmlib (through PROJCL I believe). I think the access is random rather than sequential. The parmlib has ~180,000 members is has an LRECL of 80/BLKSIZE of 27,920. The performance team has reviewed a found ~ 6ms response time to the volume that houses the PDS with most of the time being connect time.
