improve performance by eliminating disk I/O operations.

yIf communications lines are involved in the batch application, try to limit the number of communications I/Os by doing fewer (and perhaps larger) larger application sends and receives. Consider blocking data in the application. Try to place the application on the same system as the frequently accessed data.
