i am somewhat surprised to hear you quoting an ims benchmark that
runs 1000 xacts a second.  i thought ims was only capable of
running around 100 xacts/sec when run on dual 3084 running fastpath.
could you give more info on the application you cite or provide
a pointer to an article that describes it.
