Yes, that is correct. We (IBM TSM performance) do recommend a
value that is higher than what SELFTUNEBUFPOOLSIZE can achieve. When the
SELFTUNEPOOLSIZE reaches 10% of real memory, it does not go above this value.

No Biggie, but

I am looking through v7 of the performance guide, from Dec2004 and I
have noticed,

The optimal bufpool size is from 1/8 to 1/2 of real memory

but, SELFTUNEBUFPOOLSIZE, is limited to allocating 10% of the memory
under unix.

1/8=12.5%  ,  so SELFTUNEBUFPOOLSIZE is limited to a value that is below
the recommended optimal?
