Jim,
< If there is any hint of I/O queuing,
100% SSD.
If looking at a Disk Response time graph, do you mean any time there is "disk wait time".
Normally, my disk service time is .2 ms, no wait time, peaking during nightly BRMS save to 2.5 ms save, no wait time, and weekly cycle billing process to 4.0 ms with 1 ms wait time.

Paul,
It depends on the I/O pattern of your machine. If there is any hint of I/O
queuing, then yes it will most likely help. If there is no I/O queueing.
there might be an improvement, but it will be more abbreviated than with
heavier I/O.
Either way I doubt the cost of that option is going to be an impediment to
getting it, so I would look into it. You might not need it now, but in some
short time in the future it might pay off nicely.

I have 5770SS1 option 42: HA Journal Performance, installed, not using at
this time.
Within the last year, we installed IBM's CDC replication software, required
for one of our applications.
CDC replication uses journaling.
Would I benefit in purchasing the 5770SS1 option 42: HA Journal
Performance, activating the JRNCACHE(*YES)?

This is also referred to as journal caching, if you're searching for
information on it. Its activated with the JRNCACHE(*YES) function in CHGJRN,
once you purchase the option. In summary, journal data is cached into memory
before writing to disk in larger chunks, rather than making sure its written
at every change. It makes a big difference on journaled file write/update
performance.

Yes, we've already gone to SSD, Rob, so that particular ship has already
sailed. :) However, I am unfamiliar with HA Journal Performance. We use
MIMIX; I wonder if this is something I should be looking into.
Heck, for all I know we already have it, but it definitely sounds like
something I should look into.

much larger return on investment would have been to buy the "HA
Journal Performance" option as part of SS1. I daresay it will be a
rare consultant who can pinpoint WHY you might need that and predict
how much it will help.
