Not what you asked for, but I divide my primary batch service class into 
periods like so:

* Service Class BATCH - Batch jobs w/o specific goals

  Base goal:
    CPU Critical flag: NO

    #  Duration   Imp  Goal description
        -  ---------  -    ----------------------------------------
            1  1200       4    50% complete within 00:00:06.000
                2  27000      4    95% complete within 00:01:30.000
                    3             4    Execution velocity of 10

This gets fast turnaround on very short jobs, even when the processor is 
otherwise saturated with longer-running ones.

(I forget why I used execution velocity for period #3 instead of discretionary. 
 Perhaps WLM refused to initiate the job in a saturated system when the last 
period was discretionary.  z/OS 1.12, so behavior may be different for you.)
