Alan's right - bogomips is a red flag! And the assumption that all people take their numbers for VM instances in production environments is interesting (and knee jerk). I think I should change my handle to "Lonely_Lpar_in_a_controlled lab_guy". All the numbers I quoted come from test systems ipl'd in LPARs with very little or no load on any LPAR when the ipl took place, so the numbers are generally say repeatable within 5-10%, so it is a decent indiciation of the relative capabitilty of the single engine within the s/390-zSeries. So, rather grousing about bogomips, what standard measure do you have that can measure the relative speed of the processors! ===== Jim Sibley Implementor of Linux on zSeries in the beautiful Silicon Valley "Computer are useless.They can only give answers."
