If you mean on OS/390:
big differences! The ressource manager treats batch tasks different from
TSO and in batch you don't lock your TSO session. It is running really in
background.

On other machines: there is no real "batch"-mode. You can run tasks in
background, but that is no big difference to the foreground on windows.
Maybe in UNIX it is, but that depends on, how you treat that tasks. For the
OS it is not a big difference, only the X-Windows may need less ressources.
