Hmmm. I think you're right. I must have misheard the numbers.  For infoon the
number of switches per second, check out:

http://www.s390.ibm.com:80/bookmgr-cgi/bookmgr.cmd/BOOKS/IEA1W110/B%2e0?SHELF=E0Z1IN70

(and sorry, the URL won't wrap any better).  The modern processors are
the 9675 G5 Models, about a quarter of the way into the document.  MIP
ratings for the individual processors are around 100-130 mainframe (that's
500-600 intel). A fully configured system would have 10 G5 processors (or
12 of the newer G6 processors) and several gigabytes of RAM.
