Highly unlikely since IBM doesn't publish standard benchmark results for its mainframes. The argument being that mainframes are intended to run a varied workload concurrently, and do well for all of it, not run a single application at the highest performance level. This is particularly true in a virtualized environment, since all the system resources are being shared among a number of guest operating systems. If you have a particular workload that requires the highest levels of performance, you don't want to run it in a shared/virtualized environment, whether that be z/VM, VMware, or Xen.
