First understand this is not 'Bashing' it's just what it is.

System: POWER7, one full processor, CPU at 1.2% busy, 8G memory.

Start *ADMIN Web Server. At least three maybe Five minutes.
Start Host Servers. < 1 second.

Over 20 seconds to get from signon to the opening screen. Second time 2
or 3 seconds.
Expand File Systems <1 seconds.
Expand Integrated File Systems. >15 seconds then TCTUI1003E error. Game
over please play again. This is in Chrome.
In IE Speeds are about the same but you don't get the TCT... error.
That's an improvement but since you don't get any results either, not
really.

Open Navigator 2 seconds.
Expand this partition <1 second.
Expand File systems <1 second.
Expand Root <1 second.
Expand a directory with PTF images in it. <1 second.

And I can drag and drop to my desktop.
And I can drag and drop IFS stuff BETWEEN systems.
And I can re-size individual screens.
And I can customize the columns a

Then compare the 5250 emulator in the web vs TN5250. Like comparing a
Yugo to a Porche, same number of wheels but.....

This is my consistent experience at customer after customer. Especially
when they are paying me to do things for their systems they do not want
me to spend the first half day getting the *ADMIN server to run right
and then 10 times longer doing anything with it.

It has gotten better, MUCH better and that will continue without
question. But for now it's simply not in my tool bag.

are slow on first touch, but much faster subsequently. Log out and see how
fast the second click of "Log in" is. How fast is the second expansion of
memory pools?
