As I understand, fully virtualized KVM guests (on Intel VT or AMD-V) can perform with near native speeds only when it comes to the CPU - because the things like network or block device are basically emulated.
Among many changes, KVM in 2.6.21 has "Initial paravirtualization support, which has much faster performance", and is based on KVM-15. At least two PV drivers are needed: - network - block device What is the state of these PV drivers now? Is it usable on Linux now? Are Windows PV drivers planned, too? If yes, who is going to take the lead here (Qumranet, community, not decided yet etc.?). -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
