Wait until we switch CPU's from electricity to light.  We will be asking
the same question.
The challenge is to harness the speed and power, something that zOS on
z-Series does very well in a reliable manner.
It is also I/O computational superior to a lot of platforms out there.
But I agree, in terms of MHz, z-Series run slower.

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.
