If CPU usage is low on your IFLs, then you're paying for too many IFLs.

Do I understand correctly that license terms do not allow the number
of specialty processors to exceed the number of general processors?

If so, then which costs less:

o Adding one general processor, uncapped, or

o Adding one general processor, capped as low as possible,
  plus one specialty processor?

Certainly if the OP has unused general processor resource but is
CPU-constrained on IFLs, it makes sense to move Linux workload
to the general processors.

Can a single LPAR have a mixture of general processors and IFLs?
