It's not only "not really tuning the system" it is actively de-tuning it. You're basically telling the VM scheduler to not make any decisions at all, and let the various guests with this option fight it out for resources. Much better to figure out what's really wrong and address that.

Lionel, I had similar problems when I ran more than a certain amount of Linux Images at the same time. I don't know if this would be a good solution for your environment but, when I used the 'OPTION QUICKDSP' in the 'user direct' entry for the machine I no longer had any issues. This is not really tuning the system but I was able to access all of my machines.
