z/VM provides a STSI level 3 Capability Adjustment Factor (CAF) that reflects 
how much (expressed as a percentage) of the machine's capacity is being 
given to a particular guest.  STSI level 2 tells you how much of the machine's 
capability is given to the VM LPAR.

Further, STSI level 3 reflects only those CPUs in the virtual machine's 
configuration, not the "available" CPUs.
