The only reason I can think of is there might be Linux related performanc e data in the CP MONITOR stream that Perftk can't deal with yet, and IBM wa nts to make sure that it's available if needed. But the good news is that you can run very advanced 3rd party performance tools (e.g., Velocity's ESAMON) in addition to or as a replacement for Pe rftk. Hope this helps. DJ
