Since IBM is suggesting that we develop applications with a browser
interface, and since the browser interface requires somewhere in the
neighborhood of 3000% more CPU time than a comparable 5250 interface, may I
suggest providing us with faster CPU's?

IBM's Webfacing tool will be released soon.  After folks convert their 5250
screens to JSP's, then realize the new user interface takes 3000% more CPU
time, they're not going to be happy.

More importantly, our Web applications have to compete against Intel based
Web applications too.

Nathan.
