I have a bit of empathy with both Dave and Ted. Personally I like the idea of a percentage - even in an asymmetric sysplex. Much easier. Isolating specific work to a particular CEC ain't that hard. Setting meaningful sysplex-wide goals gets interesting, but that's really a different issue and has been covered before. However, I have had requests along the lines of - "make sure X doesn't get more than yy% of an engine" (or similar). This is easiest accomplished with raw service units. Accommodates adding engines with only minor errors - upgrades mean dragging out the slide rule again.
