  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The process of updating a bundle requires that the bundles
  already in the EBA are read off the disk.  This is done at
  various stages during the update.  The I/O operations cause
  the update to be slow.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR improves the performance of updating the bundle by
  caching data read from the disk.  Therefore there is only a
  single I/O operation for each piece of data required rather
  than multiple.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
