One place I did this by design was when I was decommisioning DASD. I would use 1 job of ICKDSF TRKFMT per logical volume and 1 name for each physical array in the box. When they wanted me to rush, I would do 2 names for each physical array, but the thrashing would slow each job. The two jobs would finish in about 75% of running two in sequence. Starting a 3rd name lead to so much thrashing we go very little decrease in time so I stopped those after 1 night.
So running 1 jobname at a time allowed the queing of jobs to kick off over a couple of weeks as other jobs completed.
