"Perhaps they've finally figured out that running WebSphere (at least multiple instances of it) on a mainframe is not a very good performer. The old defamatory SHARE badges of TSO on MVS come to mind (a pig on the back of a turtle or something like that). Even IBM's WebSphere people state in public that you won't be getting very many (much less than 10) Web Spheres running on a single mainframe."
That data was from performance tests about 18 mounths ago did leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, but it was based on an old release (2.2.16) and ext2 file systems. The main problem was getting a lot of Linux to start and some issues with scalability. Unfortunately, the results have not been revisited with 2.4.19 and either reiser or ext3.
