RE: Restrict jobs CPU usage

["Reger, Bill" <breger@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A program will try to get as much CPU as it can get, but only up to what it
needs!  You can improve the efficiency of your program so that it needs less
CPU.  Once you have reduced it's CPU requirements, then you can limit the
effect one program has on the system as a whole by tuning the system - by
setting up separate pools of memory for batch vs. interactive use, by
assigning appropriate run priorities, time slices, etc.  This is a big
topic.  Hope this helps!

                Having just re-written some programs to 'up' efficiency, the
job still 
                seems to use a hell of a lot of CPU. I am right in thinking
a job will 
                use as much as it can get ?
                Sorry if this is the wrong mailling list, although the
programs are in 
                RPG and CL.
