I can't speak for Oracle but in a test between a 4 way Intel, 2ghz, 8Gb memory running DB2 8..1 they were doing 25K DB Loads per second. on zSeries, 2 IFL (shared), 1.1Gb memory running DB2 8.1, zSeries did 49K DB Loads per second. Same results on queries. They frontend their app with 6 FTP servers to 2 DB2 Servers. we put all that on 1 Linux Server and smoked them.
I'm working with our Distributed People now to come up with Real Benchmarks running real data, using MySQL, APACHE, MQ and such to get real transaction rates. The distributed guy admit that to them if my machine clocks faster its better than your machine. I would like to know if anyone has run lmbench on zSeries? It looks to be platform agnostic using no platform specific code and is compiled with the native GCC compiler on the platform being tested. Are there any opinions on this benchmark tool?

That would make sense. And if it has to be all on zSeries, we learned that it does help to put the tiers in different virtual machines that can be tuned separately. Too bad many people put so little effort into it when they do benchmarks, and then value the outcome so much...
