My take on it is that, for 390/zSeries architecture, raw computational 
performance takes a back seat to RAS; just about any time during architecture 
design that there was a conflict between issues of performance and, say, 
reliability, reliability would win.  To my mind, that is the correct call.

That's what I've heard as well. I've always wondered why the zSeries is
so computationally inferior to almost any other current CPU
architecture.
