How can I improve performance on the Application of ClearCase Labels?

I am often asked questions like:
"Why does it take so long to apply a label to 30,000 elements."

The short answer is "because you are applying a label to 30,000 elements".

How can I get "True" Keyword Substitution/Expansion" with ClearCaseI am often asked why ClearCase does not automatically perform "Keyword substitution or expansion". That I can't answer, but I can say that I was never a big proponent of inserting meta-data into source files that already have the meta-data associated. With ClearCase that is easily readable with cleartool commands like find, ls, desc and others.
