I can't speak for him, but I took it as referring to the crazy pricing
approaches that lead people to run native code in Java, which
otherwise seems wasteful, and not the mainframe hardware itself.

I'm not talking about refactoring or porting to Java, which might or
might not have merit for maintainability.  This seems to have no
technical merit other than falling under a different pricing strategy.
