(Cross-posted to IBM-VM and IBM-MAIN) A buddy asked me:
"At a previous employer, someone had an article, poster or something (I know - real specific - it was 15+ years ago) that tried to put the time for computer events into perspective. It started with the quickest instruction (RR) having a baseline of 1 second. It the proceeded to go through all of the instructions, RX, RS, SS etc. and then into I/O, MIH and so on. Have you ever heard or seen anything like this? I'm having trouble stressing the importance of poor I/O response time and I thought this might be of use." I had to tell him I hadn't ever seen such a thing, but would like to. I figure if anyone else alive knows what this is/was, they'll be on one of these two lists...! Anyone? -- ...phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
