We upgraded from 3.5.1 to Aurora 1.2 two years ago while we were on an 810 at the time. I don't have any firm statistics, but the AS/400 and response time seemed pretty much the same after the upgrade. If I recall correctly, our DASD did go up slightly, but I don't have any firm numbers.
We only ran Aurora on the 810 for a few months before upgrading to a System i 520. We lease our AS/400 and upgrade to a new one every three years when the lease is up, so the machine upgrade was not related to the performance of Aurora.

Alsons went to Aurora on an 820 machine in September of 2006. The 820 ran
okay with this upgrade (no difference in performance from 3.5.2SP3),
however we made a decision in early 2007 that we needed to upgrade to a 525
model because the 820 would not support the next release of the O/S. With
the pricing on the 525 and savings in the O/S maintenance costs and the
hardware maintenance cost savings, we were able to cost justify the
purchase of the new 525 with a 3.5 year pay back.
If you would like to discuss this further, please e-mail me off line or
call. Thanks.
