I know this is an "it depends" question, but I hope some of you can give

MVS and (to a lesser extent) VSE and Linux will gracefully run a mix
of jobs and transactions.
Running the same mixed workload in a single virtual machine is
difficult to do well. Setting
absolute processor percentages for the machine in question is one approach.
