Hi

   For me this more or less clear.
I have here a number of collegues from NT and Unix , and they don't understand why the 0.5% CPU time is a matter:

/"Would somebody knowledgeable please explain to me why some host people get their panties in a knot (I love colorful expressions!) over a few dozen MBs and a CPU usage of 0.5%? Are there real reasons for this, or are they simply stuck in a 1960s mindset? How much can 408 CPU-seconds per day cost?"

Well, actually you can purchase a fraction of a CPU.  The z9 BC, z890, and z800 
all have many settings for their CPU speed.  But, on the larger processors you 
can't do that.  You can't add one CPU at half the speed of the others - they 
all have to be the same speed.

Last but not least: when you add some workload and it increases CPU consupmtion by 0.5% it could mena your WLC fees will increase (it is NOT linear, so it may or may not be 0.5%), but maybe this is last 0.5% which causes need to purchase next CP. You cannot buy fraction of CP.
