I will agree that IBM's Great (Tasting) Tuner isn't all it's cracked up to
be.  However, we've had good luck with AUTOTUNE from Help Systems.  Yes,
yes, I know that any idjit, upon memorizing the work management manual
(after reading it at least twice), can do a better job... and I've done so
in the past.  And I can do it again if I need to.  However...  I do NOT
want to spend all day tweaking the tuning parameters every day to get past
the Mid Afternoon Crunch.  *sigh*

Besides, just dump a whole lot more memory and a bunch of disk arms in the
system and all your clogs go down the drain!  (:

Ducking very, very fast,
