I doubt very much that tracing did anything to improve the performance. If anything, it impedes performance. There is most likely something else going on in the environment, though what I do not know. The data transfer time of 323 seconds suggests that it took TSM 5 minutes and 23 seconds to move

One of our AIX machines had a similiar (only in such that backup performance was exceedingly slow) due to an undocumented vmtune parm that set the read aheads to zero after a patch. The instrument trace I think will help tell you if you are spending alot of the time in file I/o (I think). Either
