We are paying for "the CPU" wether it is running at 25% percent or 100%. Management wants to be able to see that, if they made an "application change" to improve the performance of a particular program, that they will be quantify the amount of MIPS saved as a reult of the application change. We actually have a "MIPS reduction committee" that meets on a regular basis to discuss on how to improve the performance of our most CPU intensive applications.
