Does anyone have any data or performance metrics

on how a Java app would perform on an AS/400
vs. a C++ app. Vs. an RPG app?

The reason management has been asking is due to the
legacy programs that run on our machine.
We are currently running a 720 series w/2GB main
storage and 175GB raid 5 array with 90% of the programs
written in-house (and before my time).
At any given time, when I look at the performance
of our AS/400 (through system status), and it always
seems to be above 65%
(or it's often at ++++ when I look at it).

Management wonders if these programs were rewritten
in C++ or Java if it would have a positive effect on the server?

Surely you're kidding...
someone's been reading magazines again, haven't they?

Java ???
NO way...your performance would be three times worse.
