As I mentioned in our Bisbane presentation, we found that for our WAS
apps, we were seeing that an IFL ran roughly the same performance as a
single core on a 3GHz Core2 Intel chip, so it's not especially surprising.
Of course, whether this represents a cost-efficient use of Z hardware is
another question entirely.
The outcome of Bernie's experiment will certainly be interesting. The
cost-efficiency will be a huge factor; essentially how may 'office
suites' can be displaced on an IFL. If 300 people (for instance) can
use OO.o on s390x, some (possibly small) fraction of them may be in use
at any one time.
