I actually reported this problem to IBM when one of my clients had a z/13s, and was told that their testing was performed on a 400Mip box (with a zIIP engine, and also without one), their response time was acceptable, but my clients took about 20 minutes to initialize and about 45 minutes to get to where you could log on, and then from that point it was slow, but usable (barely). THe z13s had one CPU and was rated to 13MSU (80Mips).
That client has since upgraded to a z14, (still one CPU but has 15MSU and 88Mips), which is not a big change, but they also purchased a zIIP, so now it takes under a minute to get both parts of z/OSMF up, and performance it quite good. SO it's not really the standard CPU that matters, it's the zIIP which, even though the main CPU is only 88MIP, is full speed, so I imagine that without a zIIP, you would have some issues getting it started. Have you maybe tried a faster CPU, maybe a I7 14700K or i9 14900K (or one of the newly announced CPUs would perform better for you.
