AS/400 Performance

[Gary Munroe <GMUNROE@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the best way to find out how the system is performing (v3r2)? 
We seem to be noticing slowdowns but cannot necessarily narrow down 
the cause.  We look at WRKACTJOB to see who might be running an 
intensive job but it doesn't always reflect the slowdown we feel.  I 
know there is performance data collection but we are under the 
impression it makes a big impact on the system by itself.  Are there 
any general maintenance tips we should be following?  Also, does a 
reclaim storage do a defrag to the disks?  What would?  Would this 
help?

Thanks.
