  That's kind of hard to answer without a system trace.  If you have
programmed an SRB routine to determine when it has taken a long time to
be dispatched, have it initiate an SDUMP in order to capture system trace.
 TRAPS NAME(IEASCHEDULETRACE)   in DIAGxx    will cause the
SCHEDULE to be traced in system trace.

TRAPS NAME(IEASCHEDULETRACE,IEANOSUSPSYSTRC)      may be better
for this particular issue, since it will also trace CPU timer and
clock comparator interrupts out of wait, which we normally do not trace
in order to avoid wrapping more useful entries out of the trace.
