I am curious about the Performance differences, if any, when hosting IBM i
on IBM i vs IBM i on VIOS. Are the 2 methods about the same? Wildly
Different?
Do I need more Memory or CPU generally speaking for one vs the other etc?

I don't need or want a discussion on what features/capabilities of each
method, but just how well the guest partitions perform. Looking for real
life experiences and any book type references..

Thanks
