You can do as Kees said. But in WLM you put your goals according to your business objectives. I have worked and work on Dallas systems (or P390 / FLEX) also and the most important work in that environment (other than the OS tasks) is usually TSO.
So you might want to consider changing TSO to Importance 1 with 1 single period or even SYSSTC for that sort of development environment (or at least for a subset of users - on the Dallas system I work on, there are only a few). That would also take care of the next thing that gobbles up CPU and hurts your TSO response time.
