I'm no HP3000 performance expert, but I've heard that it's a good
idea to overlap the queues, especially the DQ and CQ.  In your case
I would make the base for the DQ 198, so it could overlap (and then
pre-empt) the CQ.

Here's what it looks like on my system:

                    ------QUANTUM-------
QUEUE  BASE  LIMIT  MIN    MAX    ACTUAL  BOOST  TIMESLICE
-----  ----  -----  ---    ---    ------  -----  ---------
 CQ    152    200   1      2000   17      DECAY    200
 DQ    198    238   2000   2000   2000    DECAY    200
 EQ    240    253   2000   2000   2000    DECAY    200

I have done this on my systems in the past and it has helped batch
throughput.  YMMV.
