Nick Winter (!= myself) raised a good point about this.
My own posting earlier was mostly fixated on the syntax
issue.
It makes a big difference, namely the difference
between putting everything in one file and separate
results in separate files. Computing time is
a side-issue.
With the former, presumably -dsconcat- would be
unnecessary.
To add more, we'd need to know more about the real problem.
