I don't understand, I can't reproduce your problem on my systems here and it's a pretty eclectic group of systems.
Can you tell how many jobs are actually purged when you enter the command? I just don't see anything in your parms that would allow your system to hang on to the Checkpoint dataset for 14+ seconds. We must be missing something. There has to be something external (to jes) that's going on to allow the checkpoint to be held for so long with no other exterior indication of a problem. I think that you told me in one of your email that you have the problem even if you are only purging one job. Can you reverify that as the case? Try to purge just one job (specify a specific jobname or number) and see if you get the same problem.
