The are many variables and configurations to consider. MIPS isn't the only factor. Other factors may include the number of CICS regions (and what level of detail you are writing to SMF), DB2 subsystems, WebSphere regions and batch jobs running in your environment. I already mentioned that running at or near 100% CPU utilization was also a factor that has affected the way I dump SMF data. It's really pointless to continue this... so this is my last post on this point.
