Only true if you ignore mixed workload address spaces (E.g. DB2, MQ, databases, 
automation, Websphere, Unix, IMS, CICS and probably others). WLM and priorities 
do not automatically deal with these situations. DB2 solved this problem by 
implementing WLM enclaves into the product. Other products have implemented 
strategies that don't involve WLM.

I have to disagree. Cheryl Watson and her team exist because time-slicing and 
WLM don't magically solve every issue. Instead you must be proactive. The OP 
has a known rogue TCB in a multi-tasking address space otherwise why did he ask 
the question. At the very least, he needs to consider it's impact when CPU 
approaches 100%.
