This was discussed yesterday and it was suggested that I should enter a bug for this. Since then I have done a few experiments:
By default dom0 has 64M. Under these condition make tools takes 24 minutes on a js20. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/j9/xen-ppc/tools' real 24m1.321s user 0m34.716s sys 0m23.272s I have found this is about the case on average. This is with the xen source tree on nfs. I dismiss this as a network related problem since I see no evidence of this. By changing xen to give 128M to each domain and therefore to dom0, the same make, also with source over nfs takes less than 2 minutes. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/j9/xen-ppc/tools' real 1m15.445s user 0m32.800s sys 0m14.753s I will not enter this as a bug. If anything the bug is that one might not specify the memory size for dom0. (On a related note, once we alter xen to give each domain 128M, xm create no longer works. Jimi is debugging this.) Also I reported slowness for starting xend. I am still working with this and will post to the list as soon as I have more data. Simply giving more memory to dom0 does not fix the slow xend start problem.
