... MSU values are reported by the hardware. MIPS values aren't. That single difference makes MIPS inherently less useful than MSU ...
Since IBM changed the billing algorithms for MSU, that makes MIPS les useful than a useless number for MSU. Just because the hardware reports it doesn't make it valid. SU/sec is a single number that MSU is based on, derived by LSPR. But, LSPR is very suspect now. So are MSU's since marketting got involved in a technical description. Isn't it amazing that senior execs are spending millions on a number that is not much more than a WAG?
