Yes, I too have heard of one vendor that checks to see if a zIIP is available and if not does not setup for the zIIP. So for this vendor and their software that would use a zIIP they are not included in the eligible time and hence not in any analysis of the eligible time.
If that vendor is not Phoenix Software, then there are at least two that do this... TCBs when no zIIPs are present and Enclave SRBs when at least one zIIP is present.
However, we are adding some new highly-parallel, SRB-mode-only algorithms to the parts of our code that are the highest CPU consumers that might cause us to reconsider this bifurcation.
