Cheri:
 There is still a ton of folks running in S/36 environment, but you can
do a number of things to improve your performance.. There is a old
article about making changes to your systems by making a few changes
that will give you great results with very little work.. The article 
came out in New/3X several years ago but it is still available on IBM
LINK if you have access to that, if not send me a message & I will send
you a copy.. There have been a "few" changes to OV/400 but the current
push is to move everybody to Lotus Domino/Notes..IBM bought Lotus last
year & they have announced that it will be native on the 400 toward the
last of this year.. You can change the security level "down" if you have
to(not a good idea) by changing the system values for security levels..
I would try to avoid this if at all possible...
