RE: storage reduction after IPL?

Here they IPL every week but I think that is not necessary, I have given them 
my opinion but they don't seem to want to change, conversely the last place I 
was at hadn't IPL'd for nearly 2 years which is not right either.

Yes...there's a fair amount of cleanup that takes place during an IPL.
However, the stuff that gets cleaned up doesn't really grow forever (unless
something's wrong), so you don't need to IPL to clean up too often. I think
a lot of shops IPL quarterly or so when they're applying PTFs.

List,

For the first time in months, I IPL'ed our v5r3 system over the weekend
since I had to apply one PTF and an optional product. After the IPL I was
surprised to see that system's disk usage dropped from about 59% to 50%.
This raises some questions for me concerning the frequency of IPL. I would
appreciate your comments. TIA

1) Is there some type of cleanup of work areas, output queues, etc. that
can
only take place during an IPL?

2) How often do you IPL your systems and why?
