Years ago I found directing compiler (PL/I and Assembler) work files to
VIO could reduce the elapsed time of a compilation to a fraction of what
it otherwise would be. May not be true now... or systems are so fast it
doesn't matter much anymore.
The big advantage of VIO that I still like is the
z/XDC from Cole Software is my tool of choice. I'd say that would
also be true for most of the other Assembler programmers I've worked
with over the years.

When Expanded Storage was introduced on the 390-200 the way VIO worked was

There's always a caveat!
I haven't had a paging system for over 15 years.
On memory-rich systems, VIO (or any DIV solution) beats physical I/O (even to
cache).
If you're paging, VIO isn't worth it!

It's not mandatory, but why leave home without it?
With today's memory sizes, it's hard to break a system with 'too much' VIO.

that virtual volumes can be shared across SYSPLEXes. In fact, the IBM
