We recently looked at data from a similar configuration. The data was
sufficient to explain why their Linux server ran about 10 times as
slow as they anticipated. A factor of 3 could be helped by proper
configuration, the rest was overhead in V/SIE basically.
Linux is using things that are not implemented in V/SIE, so CP has to
do a lot of smoke and mirrors to maintain the illusion.
