Additional performance data
With regard to VP/CSS performance, I have an additional useful data point.

Whether it is "veifiable" according to your criteria, I'm not sure.

In any case, the system supported about 100 timesharing users running on two 360-67 CPU"s with a total of 2 megabytes of memory. I think this is relevant to the performance discussion since the hardware used is more comparable than that for some of the other performance numbers cited. For example, the 370/168 mentioned had more memory (I think) and a CPU cache, which the other hardware cited did not have.

 * Is there a published source that covers this? --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 15:43, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * I kind of doubt it, given that the above information is not in the article as it stands.


 * In fact, the article doesn't mention VP/CSS's MP implementation at all, which suggests to me that at the time people were too busy doing the work, to publish some of this detail.


 * Still, it is interesting and relevant, if that matters.

 * It really isn't possible to include the information in the article without some sort of published source to reference. --Jeff Ogden (W163) (talk) 16:08, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
