I have finished the first round of timings.  I appreciate comments on
possible fine-tuning of the metrics I used.  Basically, I did a customer
inquiry, selecting all records and did a page down 100 times on both the
green screen and WebFacing.  I tracked CPU time for WAS, HTTP, QINTER,
appropriate QSYSWRK jobs.

Here is the summary:
               CPU  Int    Rsp  AuxIO  CPU %  El time
WebFacing     27.7    0     .0     18    7.4   5:06
Green screen   1.3  108     .0    363    1.2   1:08

The WF version takes 20 times more total CPU, but uses half the interactive
CPU than the green screen version.  It also takes 5 times longer to page
through 100 pages than the green screen did on a Pentium II 450 with 128
megs RAM.

And the details:

The first thing to note is that the Aux I/O doesn't seem to be charged to
any identifiable job under the WebFacing scenario.  The second thing to note
is the differences in CPU used. I'll be merciful and leave out all the jobs
which used no additional CPU:

megs RAM.
