I bloody wish I could do that.

Agreed! One number does not tell the story truthfully.

As Allan Staller and Barbara Nitz both kindly said, I should look at the CEC 
and PR/SM data as RMF samples it. I will use LPAR averages, but to show how 
really busy the CEC is, I will use other measures.

But it helps that I handle each CEC separately, I do not combine any data in 
one big set of data, simply because the different CEC have different type of 
workload.

Indeed, as others said, this is the tool I should look at it. I also 
experimented with that RMF portal in the weekend which is already proving very 
useful for my purpose.

Many thanks to all for your kind replies! Much appreciated!
