There are some really excellent papers in the CMG proceedings http://www.cmg.org/ about Batch Tuning. You do need to be an active member of CMG to view most of them but a few are available to anyone including this one which was a CMG99 Best Paper.
REDUCING THE BATCH WINDOW TO START EURO PROCESSING or Pulling the EMU's Head out of the Sand http://www.cmg.org/national/showcase/pdfs/nmcmenemy_paper.pdf There was another paper that I recall that was particularly good focused on reduction of nightly batch elapsed time but I cannot locate it just now. If you do performance or capacity related work professionally the $175 USD for a CMG membership is probably worthwhile.
