Jim Garner (IBM SE) did an orange book 20+ years ago on a similar vein. (this was still 165 and 155 days). My memory is dim but I think he had similar findings. ... 165/155 -- what are those?
Errrr the first 370 line... and I did say 20 + (PLUS)
Ed, you're losing it. 20 years ago was XA. I started with a 3033, 24 years ago. (They say the mind is the second thing to go; I'll be diddly dad burned if I can remember what the first thing was!) -teD
If you want I can contact the author and get a real date. But as you indicated old timings don't mean the same thing as they do on new(er) machines.
There is always a cutoff as to the real benefit of and cost of doing I/O . The standalone numbers are almost never close to real life. And trying to do charge back is almost always a loosing battle.
