Rick -- You're really off here. PR/SM does not suspend logical processors for "minutes to hours at a time". As Jim Mulder wrote Wednesday, it just does not work that way. The suspension of the processor is a short duration. The time-slicing generally dynamic and all the logical engines get an equal share of an LPAR's allocation. This is not new since your 2064 it has always worked this way (back to the 3090 where PR/SM was introduced).
The premise of your question is wrong, so it's hard to answer the question. You attributed some past performance problems being due to this issue, but that is not correct either. There is or was another cause of your performance problems. Regards, Al Al Sherkow, I/S Management Strategies, Ltd.
