My (long former) product wrote a successful S/390 commercial product in C in the ~1995 timeframe.
No problems with S/390 performance.
At that time I don't think the x86 architecture had any "string" instructions either -- strcpy()
was implemented for PC-DOS as a software loop.
The 8088 had a repeat instruction, and when prefixed to another instruction,
carried out a loop until a given condition was met.
