Since you say "not in anyplace I worked at", did you set it up that way? Perhaps there was not enough discretionary work defined. I have been at shops were some LPARs are virtually 100% production CICS/DB2, so when you were at or near 100% - response time just got worse - period. No room for anything else to run (other than system support tasks). Is this a good way to run things in a modern well configured parallel sysplex environment? Of course not, but I think Chris talked about this in a recent thread.
