The savings of *SIGNAL would be the use of the broadcast function. Instead 
of UserA sending to UserB, then UserC, then UserD, and so on, userA just 
broadcasts the IUCV data, saving an IUCV SEND operation as well as the 
logic to keep track of B, C, and D (which *SIGNAL can help with, too). For 
two guests, the savings would be zero.

What scenario did you compare?
