To try to clarify that question a bit: I think -I- know what we're trying to do, but I'm not sure everyone on the list is interpreting that "5% decrease" in the same way. Or maybe it was just Ted (sorry, Ted :-) who confused me.
I'll accept some of the responsibility for your confusion, Walt. I first used the words "5% decrease in utilization" to describe how many fewer resources the operating system was expected to use. I see now how that phrase might be misinterpreted. (Ted's comments just added to the confusion.) A better, non-ambiguous, wording choice would have been to say "5% performance improvement" like Cheryl did. (I guess that's why they pay her the "big bucks". :-)
