What do you suppose 100% of all the 'mips' of your intel box is, vs 5% of
one 350 mip engine? You are getting a MAX of 17.5 mips based on the 5%
equation. 17.5 million instructions per second SOUNDS like a lot, but when
you compare it to having 100% of your intel box it's peanuts.

But, you have lotz-o-mips for I/O on a z/box or  a s/390 machine, and that
is where it excels

I find my Linux LPAR very very slow, even though it has 5% of a 350mips
z/800.
It is running SLES8. When I start the perl debug session, I can go have a
cup of coffee before it prompts. On an ordinary intel box it is almost
instantaneous!

5% of 350mips = 17.5mips or is it not relevant here?

Wonder what others are experiencing.

Nothing that would be meaningful in any way, no.

I would  like to compare my Linux LPAR against a Lintel (Linux on Intel).
Is
there some kind of benchmarking available?
