Having monitored and measured this in real world environments since 1994, I
disagree.
Define "too much", and produce documentation.
The biggest issue is lock elongation if you put a sharing member on a slower
machine.
But, I have put 'slow' & 'fast' images in the same SYSPLEX (ie: dev & prod),
due to automation benefits, such as console consolidation.
But, I have only once put an IMS sharing group member on a 'slow' machine.
I learned my lesson! (8-{<}
For cost reasons, I have also run with 'slow' CF's.
You just have to know what you're doing and where the exposures are.
