I do sympathize with shops that cannot afford a highfalutin job scheduling package. I've heard of fairly cheap alternatives although I have no recommendations. WLM should help with managing batch load.
The most promising new mechanism is the one (being) built into JES2 itself. It's designed to handle the serialization function--even fairly complex relationships--not just overall system load. You have to get current to implement it, but once there the price is attractive. ;-) . .
