AW: Timeslice recommendations

[Wiesmayr Rudolf <Rudolf.Wiesmayr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eric!

I do not know of recommendations besides the Work Management Guide
And this does not help very much.

But we have good experience with experimenting.
And we see that very little timeslices (50 or 100 ms) do not harm
a RISC system. By this measure we get quicker "first responses"
on highly loaded systems with many jobs running concurrently.
We have one batch sbs with jobs running at runpty 20 with very little
timeslice (50). And they do not disturb the QInter jobs running at
runpty 20 with timeslice 200.

HTH,
Rudi

A system admin's life is a sorry one.  The only advantage he has
over Emergency Room doctors is that malpractice suits are rare.
On the other hand, ER doctors never have to deal with patients
installing new versions of their own innards!
