I would guess that they've not don't that because they believe that
people who buy iSeries's don't care about TPC benchmarks. At least I
hope that's why. The other option is they don't like the results.

Does anyone believe that if the tests have been run and the results are good that IBM would withold them? Me neither. So either the tests have not been run or the results are not good (my conclusion).
