I got the impression Timothy was giving us a clue that it runs on a
mainframe when he wrote:
"...the performance characteristics (to run compile jobs, for example)
are much more consistent with real IBM Z servers than with the IBM Z
Development & Test Environment (ZD&TE) or ZPDT on X86-64 servers. I'll
give you one guess why that might be. :-)"
It'll be interesting to learn the details. For example, I can easily
imagine how Hercules (and I assume zPDT) works on x86, running code to
simulate each mainframe instruction, register, interrupt, etc. But run
that same code under z/Linux and you're still interpreting instructions
and hardware that's right there already.

Wazi looks awesome! It's not quite clear to me if the Wazi containers
are running emulated on x86 or if the containers are running on z/OS
using something similar to z/CX. Maybe Tim can answer.
