Unfortunately, IBM, et. al. *DO NOT* bill on elapsed time.  

More CPU used for Dump is less CPU available for productive work, or
worse yet, a bigger software bill!


<snip>
Increased CPU time to do the dump does not necessarily mean that 
the elapsed time is longer.  In fact, by compressing the data, I would 
expect that the time required to write it out (the I/O time) would be 
less.
