RE: Database Size Vs System Performance

AFAIK, completed jobs while taking up some resources, have little effect on 
performance expect for tasks directly related to the number of jobs on the 
system.

ie. WRKACTJOB is slower.  IPL is slower.

But as far as the day to day performance, having the completed jobs still on 
the system doesn't effect anything.


I supposed the same thing goes for having more objects.  WRKF *ALL/*ALL will be 
slower, SAVSYS *ALLUSR will be slower.  But the performance of the "system" is 
unaffected.
