Re: Web apps on the AS/400

Is it just me, or does anyone else wonder these tests are supposed to prove?
You're comparing 150's to 170's to 270's etc, all with various (unnamed)
processors and active workloads. One guy does the RPG version on "System A",
another does the C version on "System B", and so forth. What use could such
results possibly have?
