There are advantages to using zIIP engines (you can have 2, or in some limited cases 4, per general processor; they run at the full machine speed no matter what the general processor(s) speed is; if they're installed the operating system will use them automatically; no software charges on zIIP processors; can lower 4-hour rolling average MSUs for sub-capacity sites) but they do have a cost.
