In my previous response I took this to mean 8 lp/3 pp spread over several lpars. I agree that on a single lpar this would be *BAD*.

What is it that you think you are gaining by having so many logical processors defined to an LPAR? Hiperdispatch, for example, "parks" processors that are viewed as extra.
