I was just now looking at this thread and didn't see where anybody mentioned
the SDCs (Service Definition Coefficients). It seems like people were
comparing duration as if they meant the same thing in every location.
That's not so. A duration of 100, 1000, or 10000 could mean the same amount
of work depending on two main factors: the SDCs and the amount of storage
in the LPAR. A set of SDCs (CPU=1,SRB=1,IOC=.5,MSO=0) on one machine might
produce 100 SUs, a set of SDCs (CPU=10,SRB=10,IOC=5,MSO=3) on an LPAR with a
small amount of storage might produce 1000 SUs, but a set of SDCs (CPU=10,
SRB=10, IOC=10, MSO=10) on a machine with a large amount of storage could
produce 10,000 SUs for the same amount of work. If you're talking to
someone else about service units, try to clarify how they are defined.

Boy Dave, you are aggressive with your TSO goals. Here we have them set
as follows. I do like your third period though. If they are doing
something in TSO that takes that much service than put them in never
never land.
Duration Imp. Description
800 2 80% complete within 00:00:00.500
