Steve,

There have been many previous discussions on CFINT - did you check the 
archives ?
There's one task for each processor (CFINT01 on a 1-way, CFINT01 & CFINT02 
on a 2-way, etc).
Here's one discussion on the subject:
http://as400service.rochester.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.NSF/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/a15fc571478b82018625676900555dc1?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,CFINT
Note that CFINT, or the performance algorithm for how Interactive and 
Client/Server workloads affect each other, are often changed with a new 
release of OS/400 and can differ by hardware model.

        Subject:        the hunt for cfint



I work on a 720, processor type 206C.  The  206C, ( a cpu type that I dont 
find in my v4r5 system handbook)  is the  feature that enables the 720 to 
run interactive jobs w/o penalty.
 
But when I WrkSysAct, I see CFINT01 using 2, 3,  4 pct of the system.
 
The workload on this system is traditional batch and 5250  interactive.   
Many remote users.  No web or domino serving. 
 
And when I try to simulate heavy interactive cpu  usage by signing onto 6 
or so terminals and running a pgm that continuously  writes to the 
display, cpu usage goes to 95 pct but CFINT stays in the 2 to 4  range.
 
What is CFINT on a 720/206C running in response  to?
 
Steve
