I have not had the luxury of having a machine run less than 100% for years. And, in that kind of environment TSO does not mix well with Production (I said Production -- NOT Batch, not Online; it could be either). There are things you can do, but if you are large enough to have major Business Critical production on the mainframe (IE: the business stops if it does), you are large enough to move all test workloads somewhere else. You may think I'm touting my opinion as 'fact', but go take a look at one of the first things IGS does when it takes over a company's IT environment. POOF! No more TSO with Production! When in doubt.
