 >> Of course, I'll have to do far more stringent testing than this to
reduce the statistical error, but a 3-1 ratio isn't bad.

Actually it is a lot better than not bad.  Consider that (if my pricing
info is correct) that on most AS/400s a Batch CPU second is about a 6th to
a 10th of the cost of an interactive CPU seconds and you have the Web
application significantly outperforming the 5250.

Also we need to remember that CPU usage doesn't matter a hell of a lot
unless we're already using all we've got.  Most systems I've seen are not
constrained by CPU utilization.
