In the past I have used the following: 

 TUNE CQ=152,202,50,300,OSCILLATE
 TUNE DQ=195,240,1000,1000,OSCILLATE
 TUNE EQ=230,253,1000,1000,OSCILLATE

But this was a mixed batch & on-line environment.

CQ = on-line users and critical batch jobs
DQ = urgent batch processing 
EQ = long running and no-critical batch processing.

The Oscillate setting prevented situations of batch job starvation.
The overlapping ques and quantum settings were just something that seemed
to work in that particular environment.

Here comes the usual disclaimer: 
 Please insure you have a good grasp of the applications you are running.
 Consult the wizards that built the system, and make sure they agree to the
change.
 And - your mileage may vary...

Just my two cents..

Hope this helps!
