Yes, compiles are almost 100% CPU intensive tasks. Mainframes are not
the best choice for compute intensive tasks, which is why you have to
pick your workload carefully. The
When planning a move from a collection of distributed systems ( intel, Sun,
HP, whatever ) to Linux on zSeries - the question you are asking is not "Is
Linux on zSeries Faster than platform X?" The question is "Is Linux on
zSeries Fast Enough?"
In your case - will the Linux systems on your zSeries

It appears a compile on any of the linux takes a very long time and
compares to a Pentium III processor speed.

We have SuSe enterprise linux 9 running on 6 zVM partitions. We are
running VM in an IFL - one cpu on a z900. One linux is the clone copy
that is pushed out to clone the other partitions. One linux clone is
running a mail relay that isn't very busy. Three linux are running
apache, tomcat, ant,
