Re: OS/400 command set

Those benchmarks are essentially crap and just show what it can handle (if
you get a 16 way iSeries).  It shows nothing about efficiency.

For example, are those numbers REALLY all that impressive if another box
could do 3,000 simult connections, but with half the harware (not saying one
can)?
