Without going into the newfangled customized
queueing commands the following has served me
well:

#1 Shorten the C Queue Quantum.  (This doesn't slow down
the E Queue, but provides online users with a smaller 
slice of the pie.  I suspect your online users are 
competing on an equal basis with your batch jobs.  I
note the actuals aren't using that much.  I also figure
your online users are the ones complaining, batch
processes usually don't whine as much.)

tune cq=152,200,32,128,,100

#2 Shorten the D Queue Quantum.  (Another smallier 
slice of the quantum for your High Priority Batch jobs,
but gives a bigger timeslice.)

tune dq=202,238,1000,1000,,1000

#3 Let the MIN/MAX of the E Queue Vary.  (This leaves
you E Queue much as it was, gives a bigger timeslice.  
The variance will allow it to quit sooner if it does 
not need the resource.)

tune eq=240,253,1000,2000,,2000

Note while I shorten the C queue, I increase the timeslice 
for both D and E.  Although this gives bigger 'chunks' to 
batch processes, but they will be allocated less frequently 
and give more time for your batch to finish what it is doing.  
(E still has to wait for C and D to open up a hole before
E gets its share.)

#4. Put the above lines in your SYSSTART.PUB.SYS file.
