Websphere: a resource hog?

["Denis Robitaille" <DRobitaille@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

We are currently working on an Ebusiness project. We want to use an AS/400 with 
websphere. I am amazed by the power that this software requires. The minimum 
requirement calls for over 950 CPW!!! I mean, we have over 40 AS/400 and none 
of them requires that much power. I also know that we can run webshere on an NT 
box and the required configuration is much less (and would cost about 75% less 
ALL included).

Does somebody knows why this is so?

My first tought would be that this is a badly written software to require so 
much power to operate. Or is that du to the architecture of the Iseries?
