My experience has been that the i does a poor performance job of serving 
IFS files.  And I am not talking about just QDLS jobs.  In fact if you use 
the same disk drives, but serve up the access using an IXS, or iSCSI card, 
then they'll serve up much better.  Granted, my time trials were prior to 
V5R4 and I believe that somewhere in there it boasted of it's performance 
increase for NetServer.
