RE: starting other subsystems when STRSBS QCTL

"but it goes back to System/38 days"

If I remember correctly, QBASE was invented for the AS/400 S/36
"ease-of-use" customers.  The S/38 always used QCTL.

And if you care about performance, you will too.  The important thing is not
which subsystem a job runs in, but what memory pool it runs in and what
other jobs are in the pool with it.  Just like you probably don't want to
spend lots of time in a swimming pool with a lot of babies, you probably
don't want your performance critical jobs running in a memory pool with
compiles, sorts, index builds, or any other badly behaving jobs...

The best default ocnfiguration is the one provided by
QCTL/QINTER/QBATCH/QSPL.  If you want the best performance you will probably
want to add memory pools (and subsystems that refer to them).
