SCA$MENU.HLB  —  SCA Topics, Reducing LOAD time
    There are different means you can use to try to decrease LOAD
    time. Listed below are a few guidelines that may help you reduce
    LOAD time:

    o  Loading an SCA library for a software system is a time-
       consuming operation.  Loading more than one module at a time
       is more efficient than loading modules separately. Using
       LOAD *.ANA is a common method for loading multiple modules.
       LOAD -DELETE can be used to clean up .ANA files after they are
       loaded successfully and to use a little less disk space during
       the load.

    o  With large software systems, it is a good idea to use more
       than one SCA library and load them all simultaneously. This
       can lessen the elapsed LOAD time considerably. You should be
       able to load several libraries simultaneously on a single
       disk. Additionally, using more than one CPU to do your loads
       also helps, but SCA loading is mainly I/O intensive. For more
       information about how to use multiple libraries, see the help
       subtopics under Libraries.

    o  SCA uses a large number of I/Os during LOAD. Loading an SCA
       library on a heavily used or badly fragmented disk causes the
       load to be less efficient.
