  Now that V5R1 introduces Linux in a parition, I would like to see the
results of the test run on an OS/400 partition and again on a Linux
parition with the same amount of Processor resource and memory
allocated. This might give us a clue. 
  
  Also interesting to me would be an I/O intensive task again run on the
same two paritions although now it will also be important to have the
same number of disk arms in the partitions.
