Marcy,
Perhaps you're thinking of the z/VM 6.1 virtual switch performance enhancement
in the base, which applies to data moving between virtual servers. It uses
some new instructions that are only on z10 and later.

Wasn't there another one related to performance and vswitch moving large
amounts of stuff from one virtual server to another?

The changes that will be made *only* to 6.1 are:
- Support for z/VM participation in an ensemble managed by zManager on the
z196
- FIPS-mode enablement of the SSL server and its attendant upgrades to
System SSL and the Binder. All other SSL server enhancements will be on
5.4 as well. [This was the source of the confusion at SHARE.]
