RE: CISC to RISC and Excessive Logical I/O

["Alex A Moore" <alexm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

They are.  The group ptfs come out more frequently.  They are easier to
produce than a cum, so they can be released sooner.  They are also
segregated into groups that some users may not need, like JAVA, etc.

A cum, being more difficult to produce, may not include the latest group
PTFs.

This brings up something that just nags me.  Why is there a separate set of
PTF's requiring application in addition to the CUM set?  What could the
logic
possibly be to have approximately 5 Group PTF's in addition to the CUM set?
In
other words, why aren't the Group PTF's in the CUM set?
