First of all, commitment control requires journaling.  The overhead of
journaling is about 5%, assuming the journal receiver is in a separate ASP
that has not overflowed.  The new 'remote journaling' support in V4R2 is
about 14%.

Commitment control itself (after you get over the additional hurdle of
writing and testing the programs) is relatively cheap, assuming that you
COMMIT to the database.  In the event that you perform a ROLLBACK (in your
own code, or uncommitted transactions are implicitly rolled back at IPL
time), commitment control is very expensive.

The design of commitment control assumes that you will ultimately COMMIT
the transactions.  I suspect that there is one additional I-O to the
journal indicating that the COMMIT occurred.
