Re: Quantify processing wasted by lots of little jobs

Hi Charles,

I haven't heard anyone venture a guess as to how much time all that overhead actually takes, but just assume for a moment that you save 1 second per job for those 5000 jobs and you've saved 1hr 24min. That would be pretty good over an 8 hour day.

...Nothing takes more resources and time than creating and deleting

jobs on the AS/400.
Opening and closing files much can be a drag on performance.

And since mostly of these quick little jobs are the same process, the same set of files are being
opened and close for each job.

Double whammy!!

I think the costs should be quite significant.
