It's a matter of application design.  Canned packages are typically written
and tested on dedicated servers.  If you design an application so that it
assumes a dedicated processor and memory and then you run it on a machine
with a slower multi-tasking processor that has less memory, then what do you
expect will happen?

On the other hand, if you design your application so that the business logic
is contained in an RPG back end and the application server is primarily a
simple UI layer, then you'll find that the application works fine whether
the application server runs on the host or a dedicated client.

To be clear, Tomcat on a dedicated Windows or Linux machine will outperform
WAS on an iSeries; the issue is whether the overhead of running on the
iSeries offsets:

1. The complexity of supporting multiple production environments.
2. The added point of failure.
3. The lack of IBM support.

As I always say, it's a business decision, not a religious one.

Gang,

How can I increase the performance of WAS so an application running
thereunder will perform as good or better than its Windoz counterpart?
