If you are using WRKACTJOB all day to check performance, it probably means

established, the need for WRKACTJOB disappears.

"not well tuned" hah! much more likely, the system is terribly underpowered
due to IBM mgmt's continued focus on short term profits over long term
success. At my current assignment I have spent literally months coding for
efficiency vs functionality on a 1200 CPW i520. IBM wants 6 figures to
activate the 2nd core and undo the actions of the system governor.
Mgmt prefers to wait for next years announcements. Me, I make money writing
twice the number of lines of code necessary for the job. i5/OS takes the hit
as the users see it as an outdated system which cant cut it in the world of
rapid application development.
