John, I don't have any idea on how much. But to qualify the usage of the firewall on the mainframe, if the business Firewall(s) are still in place and stopping extra erroneous traffic.
There should me minimal CPU usage. Corporate Firewalls on PC servers don't consume much CPU. Redbooks: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg246235.pdf I would think that if you are doing something with Crypto authentication that there may be overhead there.

How can I get at SWAG on how much CPU will be taken up by implementing a RACE/SecurityServer Firewall on the mainframe. Currently the mainframe is "inside" the communications firewall, but PCI and JSOX are forcing further considerations. Anyone have personal experiences to relate, or can point me at manuals, white papers etc?
