Sounds like you *are* using all the resources.

8 cpu's ... 60 threads, I don't know Unix, so I don't know if 60 threads require all 8 cpu's but if your system is completely open (i.e., your admin person has not set up any job/user resource limits) then mpconnect just might suck it all up.

Sounds like an admin problem <g>, not the SAS user.

Read up more on mpconnect; challenge your admin person, that if he/she continues to let you, then you will continue to, use all resource on any given job ...

That should at least provide you w/ a CYA <lol>
