I think you are not getting an answer -- actually as I recall you got several answers to this effect -- because the question is effectively "how long is a piece of string?"
I use several LPARs for development. For various business reasons a CPU second costs me and my employer nothing. OTOH if you had a contract at a service bureau where you paid $5000 a month up to 20,000 CPU seconds and $20,000 thereafter, then you just saved $15,000 per month. If I improve my car's mileage from 20 to 30 miles per gallon how much money do I save? Well, it depends on how many miles I drive and how much I pay for gas.

Apart from the syntax error "How many" vs. "How much", My question is not having much success. In other terms: If I have a STC consuming 25,000 cpus / secs per month, and I spend two days optimizing it to reduce to 15,000. Am I gaining money or loosing time ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
