Re: 725CPW vs 1450 IBM i Cloud System

["Larry \"DrFranken\" Bolhuis" <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So 725 is almost certainly 0.05 of a CPU, probably a Power8 server as 
the smallest Power9 I have would be 850 for 0.05 CPU.

Clearly that's small and lower than the recommended minimum for 7.5 for 
example.

Now will bumping to 1450 help? Almost certainly.  Even if you ARE 
uncapped, it will help a bunch. Every time a system goes back to the 
queue for more CPU, it gets in line and when it gets time in the 
processor the amount of time permitted is relative to the base CPU 
allocation. Thus at 0.05 the smallest amount is allocated and when that 
times out the process goes back in line again.  Even at 0.10 the 
allocation is doubled so right there it helps a bunch.
