Ed,
When you work on a product that can amount to a significant percentage of the 
workload on a system, even micro-seconds count.
When I worked at a package delivery company, we looked at how to cut a 
thousandth or a ten-thousandth of a second from a transaction.  When you are 
dealing with things that happen 10 to 40 million times a day, it matters.
It's called upgrade avoidance.

I don't know what your company sells and wonder why anyone would pay "extra" 
for a few seconds of cpu savings gain.
I suspect you (or your management) is making a mountain out of a mole hill.
Isn't the main idea for any product to run transparently an any Z Compatible 
CPU?
Saving a few seconds is not conducive to any real life situation unless it is a 
transaction oriented system.
So if its not transaction oriented then don't worry be happy.

Ed
