IMO, most batch should be run in discretionary.  The exception is 
workload with turnaround requirements.  These should be met with 
response time goals.  A "penalty" service class that is "just barely 
above discretionary" makes no sense at all to me.

When WLM has plenty of discretionary work to do, it is able to get 
the most work out of the system.
