That's worse that I've seen with other HVM guests, where 30Mb/s was about the norm. If this was just disk or net then I'd suspect that the device emulation simply didn't match up well with the OpenBSD driver, but given that you're seeing both as slow it may well be a broader problem. In your research, have you seen reports of OpenBSD running under HVM on other 'based on the work of the Xen open source community' platforms? _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
