2.3 doesn't have the Turbo dispatcher on by default. So, only one engine is used. But when you turn on Turbo dispatcher, then you also have additional overhead (per the foils). I do wonder if the second level VM and the third level VSE have all processors available to then (with

discarded the idea to work in a second level VM the third level VSE . At the same time we migrated from ACF/2 to Top Secret in the VSE/ESA and were ready to go for z/VSE. We have half of the VSE´s in z/VSE 3.1 and stopped because the CPU incr ease from VSE 2.3 to zVSE 3.1 was between 15 and 20 percent

Avoid privileged instructions, such as IO and paging. Here VM's Minidisk cache can help to avoid I/O. You'd cache at the highest level, that is use VSE caching as much as possible, then VM/ESA's; you'd turn off MDC in z/VM, it is of no use to have two MDC levels. Have you looked at a performance
