I think that's an unsubstantiated assertion.  Productivity is a property 
of the individual, and is subject to individual preferences.  Maybe some
people are most productive using a 24x80.   I find that with my glasses 
(continuously variable "bifocals") I've got a relatively small area of 
the screen in focus at one time.  A mod 4 (43x80) display using a fixed
10x12 pixel font is about what I can handle without much head movement.
I dislike 24x80 because there is too little information per page, but I
would find your 62x142 as or more frustrating because I would have to use 
too small a font or too large a physical screen size.

If I am less productive than you I suspect it has little to do with the
difference in our 3270 emulator screen sizes.  :-)
