Capped logical partitions
It is recommended that LPs be defined as capped LPs only when needed to support planned requirements. When a capped LP does not obtain needed CP resources, because it has reached its cap, activity for that LP is similar to a system running out of CP resources. Response time can be slower on systems which operate at their cap. For this reason, interactive response times can suffer when there is a mix of interactive and CP-intensive work in the same capped LP.
