What z/OS levels? What levels of DB2 on all those LPARS?

Based on what were those claims made? I would like to see for example, RMF or 
SMF data/reports or some other tools used to prove that claims.

Are you having response time problems?

Are your LPARS hard or soft capped? What are the CPU and MSU allocations to 
your LPARS?

I'll leave that to the real performance gurus on IBM-MAIN.
