An operating system in a shared processor logical partitioned data processing system is given a target percentage. The hypervisor assigns the target processor percentage to the operating system. The operating system also has a predetermined time slice to allot to threads in a multitasking environment. The operating system adjusts the time slice based on a per-virtual-processor percentage.
