The "loss" is quite consistent with LSPR. Look at the figures. The increase in capacity is on the order of 7-9% when you get up to that size of z. I don't know how you are getting your 1-2%. But, do the math: Published figures: z/990 2084-308: 2993 MIPS under z/OS. z/990 2084-309: 3299 MIPS. Difference: 306 MIPS z/990 2084-301: 450 MIPS. Looks like 30%+ to me. I was not really complaining; I was just pointing out that the "loss" is quite a bit. But, hardware (and software) charges are consistent with the "true" increase in capacity. My concern is that, for much larger instances of z, IBM appears to have over-stated the capacity. And, they have not really accounted for PR/SM at the high-end. - -teD 300,000 Kilometres per Second Not only is it a good idea!
