What I do like about the new HMC is that all the single object

This difference is attributable to the fact that the z9 uses faster
processors for both HMC and SE.
No. PC CPU speed is almost irrelevant.
The difference comes from the way the service is done. Previously (on
OS/2) it was kind of remote desktop technique - you could see moving
mouse cursor, etc. It was bandwith consuming, the difference between
10BaseT and 100BaseT (remoted access to HMC desktop) was significant.
Now it's kind of web pages - different way of serving the screens. BTW:
even local application is web based.
