Hercules is also, as far as I know,

Linux-on-z/VM and not Linux-in-an-LPAR.
It's also a violation of the license agreements for z/VM et al.
That's why it's a "nonstarter", not a "slow starter." The sentence
above those, that you cut, says that it doesn't help for z/VM work at
all. The reason it doesn't is that you are going to find it very
difficult to legally run z/VM on Hercules (and if you do get it
running, you have no reason to believe that it's running *correctly*).
