I tried the lpj= option and it didn't seem to affect the wall clock time the simluation takes. Here is an observation-- On the changset from 11/21 that performed more quickly here is an excerpt of the log: [snip] 1449091137: (1249159347): IPv4 over IPv4 tunneling driver 1449879806: (1249947628): TCP bic registered 1449948355: (1250016163): NET: Registered protocol family 1 1449978413: (1250046208): NET: Registered protocol family 17 2310238380: (1251708119): Bridge firewalling registered 2310251180: (1251720893): Ebtables v2.0 registered 2670267306: (1252438049): ebt_ulog: not logging via ulog... 2670949205: (1253119878): 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8 Ben G... 2670966817: (1253137486): All bugs added by David S.

Miller... Note-- the cycle counts seem to be about the same at the different log prints. That section of code completes around cycle 2671520823. The simulator simply seems to be taking longer to process the simulation. The simulator seems to want to update visually update progress every 10 seconds or so. So, is it possible that nothing is wrong and a change went into Xen that just takes longer to simulate?
