> depending on your hardware (number of books), there can be a 2-11%
performance hit

(both zIIP and zAAP).
And, what is that compared toi software cost savings?
Enquiring minds want to know!
> Offloading 10% will pay for the hardware in some number of months
(8-10)
> My recommendation is 20-30% white space on the GPs to get your
monies worth on the exercise
