I can't help but think that grouping them together would be a win, provided the relocations are allowed... I know on darwin, we kinda hate those sorts of relocations because they are a performance sap. This type of performance sap is nasty as it is pervasive and invisible and hard to ever get back. Would be nice to ensure any change applied doesn't hurt performance...
