Bill and I have fun (and ultimately academic) debates on this point. :-) My view: if it's easier to explain to the boss that a specialty engine is an "accelerator," go right ahead. It's a reasonable way to think about its impact. If you Google "zAAP" (or "zIIP") and "accelerator" you'll get plenty of hits.
