While you certainly can opt to not do the conversions, and let first touch do the conversions, I highly advise against that. You should always convert your programs after the upgrade, and never wait until first touch. You will be happy you do it, every upgrade I do, we do a STROBJCVN of each library after the upgrade to insure those programs are done before the users get on the machine.
I think in the case of Brian, he made a change to the JOBD of the QZAOINIT jobs and now they are running at a higher priority as new release wrote over the JOBDs.

Program conversions? If so, the performance should pick up as programs are done being converted.

v6r1 upgrade woes
Sent by:

Hi all,
We finally completed our upgrade to v6r1 on the weekend on out 520 box.
The upgrade was flawless with the exception of having to turn off Extended
Passive Mode and Extended Port Mode for some of our FTP jobs. However, I
noticed that since the upgrade our system is running abnormally slow -
batch jobs are piling up and the overall system performance is lethargic.
We have two weeks until our migration to our new Power7 box, but I'm
wondering if there's anything I should look for in the meantime. Here's a
brief rundown of the current box:
- Model type - 9406-520
- Main Storage - 16GB (auto-adjusting)
- DASD - 850GB (49% utilized)
Just an FYI - we do have a lot of QZDASOINIT jobs that occupy a large
percentage of CPU utilization, but this was already occurring before the
upgrade, so there's something else occurring that is killing our system
performance.
Any ideas on where to start looking?
Thankee-sai!
