14.1.6 Comparing 571E/574F and 571F/575B IOP and IOPLess
In comparing IOP and IOPLess runs we did not see any significant differences, including the
system CPU used. The system we used was a model 570 4 way, on the IOP run the system CPU
was 11.6% and on the IOPLess run the system CPU was 11.5%. The 571E/574F and
571F/575B display similar characteristics when comparing IOP and IOPLess environments, so
we have chosen to display results from only the 571E/574F.
