Does that seems a bit excessive?

Yes, it is. If there is a lot of I/O, this might be due to the thread pool used for I/O.

This is why I wrote the linux-aio patch. It only reduced CPU consumption by about 2% although I'm not sure if that's absolute or relative. Andrew?

2) cpu_physical_memory_rw due to not using preadv/pwritev?

I think both virtio-net and virtio-blk use memcpy().

With latest linux-2.6, and a development snapshot of glibc, virtio-blk will not use memcpy() anymore but virtio-net still does on the receive path (but not transmit).
