Re: Timeslices

It might happen because of dynamic priority scheduler.
Before going into lengthy explanations of my theory which might be wrong -
could you set system value QDYNPTYSCD to 0 (off) and repeat you run.
If effect you see will disappear, I might be able to explain it.

I have noticed that (interactive) jobs with a small timeslice
are more "reactive" than jobs with a large timeslice.
This seems to indicate that the OS/400 is not "truly"
preemptive. Is this observation correct, or am I missing
something, or should I even know?
