John, Well, for now, let's just say that our LP to CP ratios exceed 1:1. :-)
As for the ISVs, we beat them up about MIPS terminology awhile ago. Now if I actually start to "use" this capacity, my costs can go up. But double? Gimme a break! Even if full capacity charging is warranted if I use all my new capacity, it is only a 10% increase in my monthly bill.

I know that any increase in our CPU capacity always causes "weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" due to the vendors having their hands in our purse.
