No, I'm saying that with the combination of the change in the MSU to MIPS ratio between the z9 and the z10, and the ability to now run some of our workload (DRDA stuff) on the zIIP, it appears we've lowered our total MSU 4HRA considerably. Since we are on sub-capacity pricing that results in a monthly savings in software costs. That is was is making management happy. Actually we have the general purpose CPs dialed down on our machine. Of course the zIIP engine is not. It is 2.77 times as fast as a standard CP engine.
