I suppose they also don't have any idea how MVS can run all day long at 
100% without causing any problems to the online systems.

You're not going to have that overhead for only one day.  0.5% of a $10 
Million computer is $50,000.  Of course, that ignores software costs and the 
other things that have been mentioned.  To think only of CPU seconds 
trivializes it.
