I've just did some _very_ simple disk benchmarks using fio on both Linux
and FreeBSD using a 1GB ramdisk as the backend:

'phy:/dev/ram0,hdd,w'

This was added to the guests, both have 1GB of RAM and 8vcpus. Then I've
used the following fio workload:

[global]
rw=write # or read for the read tests
size=900m
bs=32k
direct=1 # tested both 0 and 1

[job1]

FreeBSD was able to deliver >30000iops in all cases, and the throughput
was around 1000MB/s for all test cases also. On the other hand, Linux
was only able to deliver around 10000iops, with a throughput of
~400MB/s. This was tested using xen-unstable and a Linux v3.15 Dom0.

Could you try to run this benchmark on both your FreeBSD and Linux
guests? Please make sure guests are set to use the same amount of RAM/CPUs.

Roger.
