These are all within the noise level (some slightly better, some slightly worse for emulate). There really isn't much of difference here. I'd like to propose turning on the emulate path all the time in xen.

Andrew, is this something for 3.0.3/Fedora6/RHEL5 consideration,
or post-3.0.3?


I think it could go either way. There should be no "risk" using emulate over writable PT when it comes to stability, etc.
