A method of managing the execution of a workload of transactions of different transaction types on a computer system. Each transaction type may have a different resource requirement. The method may include intermittently, during execution of the workload, determining the performance of each transaction type. A determination may be made of whether if there is an overloaded transaction type in which performance is degraded with an increase in the number of transactions of the transaction type. If there is an overloaded transaction type, the number of transactions of at least one transaction type may be changed.
