Is it possible that Gartner was using older LSPR ratings?
IBM does not publish MIPS ratings (although the published PCI is
curiously close to others published MIPS ratings)
PCI/(MIPS) tends to change depending on the LSPR test version as well as
OS level.
If possible, get them to use IBM
Assuming you have more than one running system (and one that is still on
the older release) you could just eyeball consumption between the
systems and see if anything looks vastly different.
