I'm converting a large application from MPE/V to MPE/iX.  In addition to a
large IMAGE database, the application uses a large KSAM file.  I am
pondering whether or not I should convert it to native mode.  I think some
of the pluses include:

1.  Not having to expand it as it grows.

2.  Not having to "recover" it after a system failure

Note that this file is heavily read but only sparsely updated (about 200
write/delete transactions per day).

Are there other things I should consider in making this decision?
Performance considerations?
