With the big exception of all the newfangled stuff like Websphere application server and everything java. *That* stuff needs a weekly IPL in order to clean up the nonsense the Java programmers do. Otherwise you're in for *a lot* of cpu usage. And NetView also had/has(?) a problem when it's up too long. IBM support is kinda baffled by that one.... > From a performance analyst's point of view, if I had a constrained >system, I would also review any New Function APARs.

Here we are very wary of new functions, as we have been burned before, a lot more than by the performance problem!
