Claim One:
1. A method, in a data processing system, for adaptive response time distribution of transactional workloads, the method comprising: generating a response time distribution based on an initial midpoint, wherein the response time distribution comprises a plurality of buckets, wherein each bucket within the plurality of buckets defines a time range relative to the initial midpoint and has a corresponding bucket counter; recording transaction response times of transactions in the data processing system for at least one time interval; assigning the collected transaction response times to the plurality of buckets of the response time distribution; responsive to detecting variation of response times from the initial midpoint, determining a new midpoint based on the collected transaction response times; and updating the response time distribution based on the new midpoint such that each bucket of the response time distribution defines a time range relative to the new midpoint.
