No LOB compression suspension counters are available at the package level. At the package level, the time and number of times a transaction is waiting for LOB compression to complete is included in the SERV.TASK SWITCH counters. 

## 12.2.4 Contiguous buffer pools: PGSTEAL(NONE) 

In Db2 12, buffer pool management has changed when using the PGSTEAL(NONE) option of the ALTER BUFFERPOOL command. The improved PGSTEAL(NONE) buffer pool management in Db2 12 can retrieve pages that are in the buffer pool faster, which provides CPU reduction for transactions that use these buffer pools. For more information about how contiguous buffer pools are managed and the performance test results, see 2.2, “Contiguous buffer pools” on page 39. 

The buffer pool Read Operation section of the OMPE statistics report was enhanced to enable monitoring the health of these contiguous buffer pools, as shown in Example 12-66. The highlighted fields are added to the report to record the number of getpage requests or reads that are performed against the overflow area of the buffer pool. If these values are nonzero, it is recommended to increase the size of the affected buffer pool.
