I think it would be very interesting, and highly educational, if the IBM team dissected the Oracle implementation of TPCC to explain how Oracle had passed the test without producing a system that would really function for more than the required 8 hours in the real world ... and Oracle did exactly the same for the DB2 test.

It would teach people an awful lot about which features of the two engines were
beneficial in what scenarios, and the
penalties you had to pay to use them.
